Thrings Partner acknowledged by Chambers and Partners in High Net Worth rankings

Thrings has been recognised in the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide for its work in private wealth law, with both the firm and one of its leading Partners both featuring in the rankings.

Penelope Munro, who works in the firm’s Private Client team from the Bath office, has been included in the listings for the first time in the 2023 High Net Worth edition, ranked in Band 3, with the firm’s wider team ranked in Band 2. 

With her expertise lying within the areas of private wealth and agriculture, Penelope regularly advises the farming community and landowners on succession, supporting families through intricate estate administration with clarity and sensitivity. This also sees her work with the personal representatives of estates, including businesses and farms, on tax matters and dealing with HMRC to secure claims for relief. 

The announcement is the latest inclusion for the firm into the prestigious Chambers and Partners rankings, which has been recognised as a leading source of legal market intelligence for more than 30 years, with a dozen departments and many more individual lawyers also ranked from across the firm’s seven offices in Bristol, Bath, Swindon, London, Romsey, Ross-on-Wye and Lydney. 

The Chambers High Net Worth Guide differentiates the best professional advisers for international private wealth, providing an objective view by identifying and ranking law firms, lawyers and a range of other professional advisers globally. 

Simon Holdsworth, Managing Partner at Thrings, said: “It is very pleasing to see another of our teams being ranked by Chambers and Partners, with Penelope rightfully recognised as a leader in the area of private wealth law. 

“I am proud that the rankings continue to reflect the breadth and depth of the wide-ranging offering that Thrings provides, along with our ability to act as trusted advisers to private individuals, entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses.” 

Fiona Kellow, Head of the Thrings Private Client team, added: “Penelope has established a well-earned reputation through her work in private wealth and agriculture and it was only a matter of time before she was formally recognised in the rankings. Her work to support clients through what are complex and highly emotional times is outstanding and has played a major part in the wider team being recognised in the rankings this year.”
