Jennifer, who works the Bath and Swindon offices, has successfully concluded cases dropped by other firms.

Oxford-based Chris Wilson joined Royds Withy King’s private client team in 2016 and acts on domestic and international tax planning, establishing and administering trusts, Wills and Lasting Powers Of Attorney.

Priya Pandya is based in the real estate team in the firm’s London office. Her clients include investors, companies and lenders. She has a wide range of experience in all types of commercial property work.

Managing partner Graham Street said: “I am especially proud to announce our 2020 promotions. Like so many firms, we are having to adapt to the changing world around us.

“We are fortunate to have a strong pool of talent right across the business and, thanks to the efforts of all our people and the continuing support of our clients, we continue to create opportunities for career progression within the firm.

“This year has challenged us like no other, but we have proved our resilience. We continue to show that if we pull together, we can achieve great things.”

Royds Withy King employs around  520 people across its offices with expertise in areas spanning corporate, real estate and private wealth. Clients include individuals through to multi-national FTSE companies.

The firm achieved six top-tier rankings in this year’s The Legal 500 while 39 of its lawyers were ranked as ‘Leaders in their Field’ in Chambers & Partners UK 2019.
