It is an exciting day here at Edmonds Marshall McMahon! Chambers & Partners have released the 2020 rankings, and all our partners have been ranked highly in both the UK and High Net Worth guides for their respective specialist fields.
For the first time ever, Chambers & Partners have released a private prosecution category, ‘Financial Crime: Private Prosecutions’. Tamlyn Edmonds, Andrew Marshall and Kate McMahon have all been highlighted in the Spotlight Table. This is great news for the Firm and a testament to everyone’s hard work over the years in helping to develop this market.
Tamlyn Edmonds has been reviewed as “incredibly hard-working and has great judgement,” according to market sources.
