Focus on
SOLICITORS
Mr Brian Hughes
MBE continues to
work at the helm
of Rainer Hughes
serving individuals
and businesses
throughout Essex.
Rainer Hughes Solicitors are key players in
the Shenfield Community. They have been so
since 1996 when the practice first traded as
Hughes & Co. Brian Hughes, MBE, the founder
of the practice, had been closely involved in
Shenfield since 1968 and, partly as a result of
his previous involvement, the practice has
gone from strength to strength, becoming
the dominant legal force for local residents.
Rainer Hughes property department
(focussing on residential conveyancing and
commercial property) is thriving; it receives
instructions not only from local residents but
also businesses who trust Rainer Hughes to
‘get the job done’ properly.
Edward Bliss a property solicitor at Rainer
Hughes explains “Shenfield and the
surrounding areas represent a very active
market. With the advent of Crossrail we
expect further growth and opportunities for
our clients”. Rainer Hughes is also in the
enviable position of being able to “give back”
to the Community, supporting charities such
as Age UK and Save the Children.
Whilst Rainer Hughes may appear to be a
“High Street” firm, it has a not so well-kept
secret; it also operates a boutique litigation
department that has worldwide clients
ranging from global companies and high net
worth individuals to Sovereign States. It is
also currently instructed on a well-publicised
matter of worldwide importance,
representing a client in the European Court of
Human Rights.
As a consequence of Rainer Hughes’ highly
regarded commitment to achieving the best
results for its clients, it has been recognised
as a Legal 500 firm and has achieved the
Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme
and Lexcel quality benchmarks.
To top this, Rainer Hughes was recently
recognised nationally by winning the
Corporate International Magazine award as
best specialist boutique VAT Law firm in
England and Wales. Quite some achievement!
Senior Partner, Sanjay Panesar, commented
that “this really does cement our position as
one of the markets leading law firms. It is a
big year for us and we are, as always, entirely
committed to the highest level of service we
can offer our clients”.
So, whatever your legal needs, Rainer Hughes
is here for you. Your local worldwide solicitors.
