Karen Jones

“Karen Jones is a leading planning solicitor for good reason. She's very good at taking complex matters and describing them in as simple terms as possible - an underrated yet crucial skill.”

“Karen Jones is exceptional.”

“Karen Jones' knowledge of planning and environmental issues is incredibly strong.”

“Karen Jones is a leader in her field. She has excellent analytical skills and is commercially focussed and client friendly.”

“Karen Jones is highly sought after for her expertise.”

“Karen Jones brought unprecedented experience. She is a standout partner.”

“Karen Jones is a class act who reliably achieves her clients' objectives.”

“'I use Blandy & Blandy in preference to London based firms as they have a focused and intelligent planning team that provides more attention to detail on a case.”

“Karen was delightful to work with and the written opinion was so professionally presented that it made a fundamental difference to discussions with the local planning authority. Blandy & Blandy's involvement saved my client from the significant cost of potentially demolishing a building along with the cost of wasted materials or alternatively having to submit a planning application, the chances of success here being limited. Without their involvement, I am not sure we would have arrived at such an equitable outcome, for both the client and the LPA! A great job done by a great team!”

“I consulted Karen Jones from Blandy & Blandy regarding a succession of planning issues. There were some quite complex points of property law and planning law involved, which other lawyers and planning consultants had pronounced as being beyond their sphere of expertise. Karen's expert knowledge and practical approach shone through, resulting in a favourable outcome. For a partner of such high repute, she is approachable, responsive, and cost-effective.”

“We were recommended to instruct Karen Jones of Blandy's by both our architect and planning consultant, to assist in the purchase of SANG capacity for a residential development. We are experienced in commercial property transactions, having created and sold off a small retail portfolio but this was, to us, an entirely new and relatively complex type of transaction. Karen dealt with the instruction and could not be faulted in ensuring all matters were dealt with efficiently and effectively. Karen’s speed and level of communication are superb; it was clear to us that Karen cares deeply about her clients.”

“Thanks to the team at Blandy, Karen Jones, David Murray and Paul Wilkinson, for their recent work on our high-profile case. Expertise, great communication and simply a complete inside and out understanding of our entire case. We could not have achieved what we did with any other team in our opinion.”

“Blandy & Blandy trooped together with our rather shell-shocked family through a long and protracted litigation battle that ended up in the High Court. Due entirely to their collective expertise, impeccable knowledge and strategic thinking, together with an excellent choice of Barrister, we secured an outcome that we were exceedingly pleased with, and one that also generally well covered in the media. There is no doubt in our mind that this could not have been achieved with any other team in place. We are, and will remain, extremely grateful.”

“I find Karen's level of technical knowledge quite staggering.”

“This is a brilliant result and is no doubt largely due to the hard work you put into writing the excellently worded letter. Thank you very much indeed. I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“Somewhere it is written that you are considered amongst the UK's top Planning lawyers Good for you, for your firm... and for us!”

“Karen Jones was extremely professional and great to deal with.”

“As well as being extremely knowledgeable and experienced in their field, they also take the time to ensure everything is explained and I was very comfortable that the work carried out was always within the budget we agreed. Thank you, Karen, for all your hard work to date.”

“Karen speaks with knowledge and authority.”

“Exceedingly efficient and commercially aware.”

“An extensive knowledge of planning and environmental law.”

“Karen and Kayleigh have advised me on producing objections to a number of planning development applications in the last 12 months, including challenging a Certificate of Existing Lawful Use, which without their help and guidance would not have achieved the successful result recently obtained.”
