Penningtons Manches

Firm consolidates Surrey presence

Three years after opening a second Surrey office in Guildford in 2012, Penningtons Manches LLP has sold its Godalming office and is bringing the staff of both offices together into larger premises within the recently completed Grade A office redevelopment at 31 Chertsey Street.

Under its new Guildford roof, the Penningtons Manches Surrey team of more than 100 partners and staff will offer a full range of services for businesses and individuals. These include the highly ranked practice areas of corporate and commercial, employment, real estate, private client and tax, family, clinical negligence and personal injury, residential property and travel law.

The move is being carried out in two phases—partners and staff from Bishops Wharf (Guildford) relocated on Monday 22 June while those moving from Highfield (Godalming) will be in situ from Monday 6 July.

David Raine, Penningtons Manches' chief executive, said: “Bringing our Guildford and Godalming staff together in Beaufort House will create a Surrey legal powerhouse for our clients with access to some of the region’s leading lawyers under one roof.

“Moving into 31 Chertsey Street is a strong signal of our long term commitment to provide a first class legal service to businesses and private individuals in Guildford and throughout Surrey.”
