Godalming: Law is new recruit at law firm

Penningtons Solicitors LLP has recruited a leading commercial property lawyer to join the commercial property division at its Godalming office.

Stephen Law joins Penningtons as a partner. He has 15 years' experience in the commercial property field, most recently with Shoosmiths in Reading. Law specialises in property investment, non-contentious landlord and tenant issues, retail, leisure, healthcare and all aspects of property acquisitions and disposals. He has led on several large transactions in the £100 million plus bracket and has a strong international track record, advising many US and European companies on their English real estate requirements.

Law is recommended in the latest issue of the top legal directory, The Legal 500, which praises his "accurate, quality advice".

Although he is based in Penningtons' Godalming office, Law will also frequently work out of the firm's London office, advising clients nationwide.

He is familiar with the local area having gained a BSc in Geography from Surrey University. Law subsequently passed the Common Professional Examination and Law Society Finals while studying at the College of Law in Guildford.

Simon Bickerdike, managing partner of Penningtons' Godalming office, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Stephen to Penningtons. His appointment confirms our commitment to extending the range of services that our highly regarded commercial property team offers to clients in a wide range of industry sectors.”
