How it All Began
Jeremy Allen and Susanna Poppleston were the founding partners of Poppleston Allen. They were recognised as two of the foremost licensing solicitors in England and Wales.
In the 2008 issue of Chambers, (the 'Who's Who' directory for the legal profession), Jeremy Allen and Susanna Poppleston were the only licensing solicitors in the country to have been awarded a star-rating. This means that they were awarded top ranking by their peers as "an outstanding duo" who at the time of publication, "remained firmly at the top of the tree among the national licensing fraternity for their standout presence and reputation as the most experienced and knowledgeable pair in the market."
Jeremy and Susanna both had an impressive reputation for advocacy, having practised in criminal and family law before they established successful licensing practises. In 1994, they co-founded Poppleston Allen Licensing Solicitors.
Susanna and Jeremy also co-wrote a book entitled 'Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Law', with Professor Colin Manchester, published by Cavendish Publishing, April 2005 and this was updated in a second edition in early 2008.
