Four partners at Nottingham-based law firm Rothera Dowson have been praised by one of the most highly regarded directories in the legal profession. 

Solicitors Amanda Redgate, Anton Balkitis, Tom Redgate and Neil Etherington have all been identified as 'leaders in their field' of expertise for 2012 by the highly acclaimed Chambers and Partners UK Guide. 

It is the fourth year in a row that both Amanda and Anton have received the recommendation and the second for Tom, with Neil being named by the guide for the first time since becoming a partner last year. 

Commenting on the announcement, managing partner Amanda said: "As a long-standing firm we have developed a reputation for sound legal knowledge and quality service, so it is rewarding to see that this is being recognised with our continual high rankings from Chambers.

"This further cements Anton's position as one of the country's leading transport and motoring law experts. And, with Neil's inclusion alongside Tom and myself, it also means that all partners within the commercial property team have been endorsed by Chambers, which in itself is quite an achievement." 

Rothera Dowson has also submitted individual department profiles to Chambers and Partners, which are followed up with interviews with client referees. These official departmental rankings, which will compare Rothera Dowson's services with other law firms across the country, will be unveiled by Chambers in the Autumn. 

The guides from Chambers and Partners have been published globally for over 20 years and were named by an independent survey as the most used set of directories to identify law firms.
