We are delighted that our Licensing team has once again received top tier rankings in the latest published guide to the legal profession, Chambers and Partners UK Guide 2022. For decades these guides have been analysing the capabilities of law firms across the world, with comprehensive research programmes revised and updated every year to bring the most up-to-date vision of the global legal market.
Our Licensing Director, Jack Cummins, who has specialised in the field for over 35 years, retains his ranking as a Leading Individual in The Legal 500 and the coveted Senior Statesperson rank in Chambers. He is praised for his exceptional expertise in the field.
Partner and head of our Licensing Division, Audrey Junner, retained her ranking as a Band 1 Licensing Solicitor in the Chambers Guide and Leading Individual in The Legal 500. She is described in the guide as "an invaluable aid with a never wavering attitude of calm."
In addition, Eilidh McGuire has been recognised as an ‘Associate to watch’ in the Chambers Guide and a ‘Rising Star’ in The Legal 500. Eilidh is a senior associate of our Licensing Division and advises clients on licensing for new premises, regulatory issues, and licence variations.

Peter Lawson, Head of our Commercial Property department and a leading licensing lawyer, has also retained his ranking in the Chambers Guide.
On the recent rankings, Partner and head of our Licensing Division, Audrey Junner, said: “This is fantastic to see. While Jack, Peter, Eilidh and l are named personally this is a team effort. It is recognition of the resilience which the team have shown over the past year and the unwavering support they have offered our clients during an unbelievably challenging time. I am particularly pleased to see Eilidh recognised in both Guides. She is an invaluable member of our team and her commitment to our clients is second to none.”
The Chambers and Partners results follow the firm’s The Legal 500 tier 1 ranking. Clients praised the firm stating: "We get a first-class service from Hill Brown. Everything is dealt with timeously and efficiently, and communication to the client is excellent."
