Pinsent Masons has taken first place in the Planning Law Survey 2018 ranking of the most respected planning law firms for the fifth year running.
The survey notes that Pinsent Masons is still number one "by some distance", topping the table of the highest rated firms. Results were based on 179 responses from 131 different organisations, which comprised planning consultancies, councils developers and government agencies.
The full report by Planning magazine can be found here, which includes quotes from one consultant surveyed who describes Pinsent Masons as a "premier league planning practice characterised by a strong team led by outstanding individuals".
The firm is also named as having the largest planning team for the third year in a row.
Iain Gilbey, Partner and Head of the Planning Environment Energy and Infrastructure consenting team at Pinsent Masons said: "This is a fantastic achievement for whole the team who have worked hard to deliver best in class service and commercially focussed advice for our clients.
"It's an exciting time for major developments and projects, and we are looking forward to helping our clients capitalise on the Government's growth agenda, focussed on the delivery of large scale housing and commercial development, nationally important infrastructure and all types of energy projects."
