FURLEY PAGE has been listed as one of the UK's top 150 law firms.

The firm, which has offices in Canterbury and Whitstable, has increased its turnover by 50 per cent in the last four years, has 20 partners and employs 100 staff.

Legal publication The Lawyer has named it as one of the country's growing firms to watch out for.

Peter Hawkes, the firm’s senior partner, said: "Our commitment to offering clients an exceptional and varied range of services has led to consistent growth over the past four years with turnover now at £6.5 million.

"We are fortunate to have a number of specialist commercial and private client lawyers who have strengthened our reputation."

The firm has just appointed Maidstone-based PR consultancy Edwards Harvey to help support its press and public relations strategies.

Mr Hawkes added: "The appointment will further enhance our progress and position as one of the leading law firms in the South East."

Established 280 years ago, Furley Page offers legal services across 12 practice areas in commercial and private client law.
