‘The firm has a great depth of skills, so we can always get the right person when we need them. They are responsive and always do what they say will, when they say they will.’
‘The main differentiator for us is a rather old-fashioned one, but also critical. All the people we work with at Penningtons demonstrate great skill in their field and give us a clear view of our options. This, for me, is the core of their value proposition and long may it last. ’
‘This team goes out of their way to ensure that they remain at the forefront of developments in their sector. Their knowledge and application of expertise in AI (Artificial Intelligence) in particular, and how it impacts clients, is remarkable. Unlike others in this area, I'm amazed at how willing they are to share technical and legal advice without requiring anything in return.’
‘Joanne Vengadesan, Oliver Kidd, and Sarah Kenshall are outstanding. I’ve had the pleasure of working with three outstanding legal minds in the fields of technology, cybersecurity, and privacy law. Their insight, precision, and forward-thinking approach continue to set the standard for excellence in this complex and rapidly evolving space. Each member of the team are consistent, reliable and savvy. I learn something every time I speak with them.’

- Sarah is a very competent and confidence-inspiring team leader.’
‘I think Sarah Kenshall's ability to come up to speed fast and deliver very practical, solutions-based advice is her USP. Sarah is very responsive and knowledgeable, and always available for a coffee to brainstorm ideas 'off the clock'.
- I think Sarah's has deep interest in her subject matter, and her enthusiasm comes across and is contageous. As her client, you feel that you're in very safe hands, nothing is so complex that it can't be broken down into manageable parts. You feel confident "going into battle" once Sarah has digested and set out the problem in a difficult-to-fault framework. ’
‘We are working constantly with PMC of various fintech-matters. Including different lending structures and - in particular in the last couple of months - in the field of crypto.’
