‘Flawless’ banking team praised by Chambers 2018.

The specialist banking and finance team at Sintons has been hailed as being one of the best in the North East by Chambers 2018.

The team was said to provide “flawless” service and was praised for its ability to “understand the client’s needs” in the findings of Chambers, an annual assessment of law firms and their lawyers, based on factors including examples of work and client testimonials.

Chambers said the team, which acts for both lenders and borrowers, has a particularly strong reputation in real estate acquisition finance matters. The team, led by head of banking Jane Meikle, advises a broad range of clients from the banking, charities, retail and public sectors.

The findings of Chambers follow the recent high ratings from Legal 500, which deemed the team to be “strong and experienced” with an “excellent ethos and helpful approach…clients trust its advice implicitly”.

Mark Quigley, managing partner of Sintons, said: “Our banking and finance team is acknowledged as one of the best in the region, so we are very pleased that again its work is being recognised in the highest terms.

“Our vision as a firm is to set the standard for legal excellence, and in doing so, to become the law firm of choice for individuals, businesses and individuals regionally and nationally. We are pleased that the latest Chambers rankings, coming so soon after our exemplary Legal 500 ratings, offer further proof that we are making great strides towards achieving that.”
