Described as being "head and shoulders above other firms for
licensing work" the team at Poppleston Allen were delighted when
the latest issue of The Legal 500 reached their London and
Nottingham offices this week.
It's been a tough year for the firm, with one of the founders,
Jeremy Allen, passing away in June. But as Jonathan Smith, Managing
Partner, commented: "The quotes within this prestigious guide are a
legacy that Jeremy would have been proud of, and testimony to him
and the other founding Partner, Susanna Poppleston, who built such
a strong team to carry the name on, a team that remains at the
forefront of licensing law in the UK.
