Thames Valley law firm Blandy & Blandy has been placed in band one of the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2022 ‘Private Wealth’ law firm rankings.

For the last 25 years, Chambers and Partners has researched and listed the best lawyers globally. The annual High Net Worth Guide ranks these firms based on research involving clients, law firms and other professional services firms.

Blandy & Blandy are one of only two firms in Reading to place in the top band this year, and are the only firm in Henley-on-Thames.

Two partners in the firm’s Wills, Probate, Tax and Trusts team, Jonathon Gater and Caroline Casagranda, have also received individual recognition, along with consultant solicitor Graham Benwell who has been named as a ‘senior statesperson’.

Caroline said: “Well done and thank you to everyone in our fantastic Wills, Probate, Tax & Trusts team for their hard work and dedication to our clients and their needs, during what continues to be an incredibly challenging period for all.”

The guide singles out Blandy & Blandy for its ‘longstanding reputation’ and ‘the strength of its private client work’. Other comments reference the team’s ‘excellent efficiency’ and ‘wide reach of expertise’.

Jonathan Gater is praised for his ‘breadth of knowledge and experience’ and ‘common-sense approach,’ while Caroline Casagranda is credited for being ‘particularly well regarded for her client service’ and ‘easy and straightforward to deal with.’ Graham Benwell is described as ‘always excellent’.
