Partners at Stone King, Cambridge ranked as leaders in Chambers UK 2015

Robert Meakin and Roger Inman, Partners at Cambridge law firm Stone King, have both received a special mention in the industry bible, Chambers UK 2015, for practices across charity and social enterprises, and education law respectively.

 

With offices in Cambridge, London and Bath, Stone King has again been named as a leading national law firm in the annual directory, which identifies the country's best legal practices through in-depth interviews with clients and industry insiders.

Chambers UK 2015 places Stone King in the top band for its UK-wide charity work. This is the first time that the firm has been ranked nationally, rather than by individual regions, for advice in this area.

A Stone King client quoted in the guide says: "It is Stone King's expertise, its special understanding of faith-based charities and the way it works with its clients, which make it our legal adviser of choice for complex matters such as governance."

Another adds: "They've really tried to understand our business and to find the most acceptable, cost-effective route that allows us to achieve our objectives."

Chambers UK 2015 singled out several Stone King lawyers for their expertise in the field of charity and social enterprise including Cambridge-based Robert Meakin, who was acknowledged for the advice he has shared with charities for over 25 years.

Across education law, Chambers directory reinforced the firm’s status as a national leader, once again placing them in the highest band.

A client quote from the guide says: "They are excellent. They get the gist of what's required and they understand what we want to get done. Their advice is sound and clear-cut, and they deliver it in a human way." Another adds: "They invariably respond with prompt, unambiguous and first-class advice."

Notable practitioners include Cambridge-based Roger Inman who heads the education team and is described as "a real intellect" by sources who admire his "good breadth of expertise”.

Robert Meakin, Partner at Stone King (pictured), said: “We are delighted to have received such positive comments from our clients across the areas of charity and social enterprise and education law, and to once again have been cited as a leading national firm.  We are committed to providing the very best legal support across all of our services including employment, business property and corporate and commercial for all our clients and this latest ranking reaffirms our position within the Cambridge area as a leading practice.”
