Information about us

www.penningtonslaw.com is a site operated by Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP ("we"). We are a limited liability partnership incorporated under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000 with registered number OC311575 and have our registered office at 125 Wood Street, London, EC2V 7AW. We also have offices in Basingstoke, Birmingham Cambridge, Guildford, Oxford and Reading. VAT number: GB158894155.

Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP and our solicitors are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under number 419867 and are subject to the rules set out in the Guide to the Professional Conduct of Solicitors, which may be viewed by clicking here. All references to ‘partner’ mean a member or an employee/consultant of equivalent standing of the LLP or any of our associated undertakings or businesses operating overseas. A list of the members is open to inspection at our registered office, 125 Wood Street, London EC2V 7AW. 

We are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are included on the register maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority so that we can carry on insurance distribution activity, which is broadly the advising on, selling and administration of insurance contracts. This part of our business, including arrangements for complaints or redress if something goes wrong, is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The register can be accessed via the Financial Conduct Authority website at register.fca.org.uk. Our inclusion on this register means that we may, in certain circumstances, offer a limited range of financial services to clients where those services are an incidental part of the professional services we have been engaged to provide.

We maintain professional indemnity insurance in accordance with the rules of the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Details of the insurers and the territorial coverage of the policy are available for inspection at our offices or upon request.

We practise law in Greece through Bateson & Partners Law Firm (“B&P”), a Greek Law Firm and partnership trading under the name of Penningtons Manches Cooper Greece, which is regulated by the Athens Bar Association:  Firm No. 80788. A list of the partners is open to inspection at its branch office at 93 Akti Miaouli, 185 38 Piraeus and at its registered office at 4 Zalogou Street, 153 43 Athens. All partners are registered with the Athens Bar Association (http://www.dsa.gr/) and are admitted as Solicitors of England & Wales, and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
