Notes
Planning magazine invites solicitors, developers, local authority planners and other client groups to nominate the barristers they consider to exemplify best practice. The 195 responses received provided the data underpinning the rankings. The list of invitees is balanced to guard against disproportionately high levels of responses from single organisations.
