McGuireWoods London partners Daniel L. Peyton and Callum Hassall earned rankings in the Chambers UK Guide 2025, the authoritative guide to top lawyers and law firms in the United Kingdom.
Peyton is managing partner of the firm’s London office and an accomplished employment lawyer who was ranked for the ninth time by Chambers UK for representing employers. Peyton represents clients in all aspects of English employment law, with an emphasis on high value contentious employment matters, including whistle blowing, discrimination, restraint of trade and confidential information disputes, and board level terminations. A client interviewed by Chambers researchers described Peyton as “super to work with, very knowledge and always solution focused.”
Hassall was recognized for representing real estate clients in matters valued at £50-150 million. He assists clients on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions involving a variety of property types, including retirement living and care homes, student accommodation, industrial estates and warehouses, hotels, office premises and logistics. Chambers UK quoted clients who praised Hassall for his industry knowledge, attention to detail and responsiveness.
“Callum is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with,” one client said. “I’m impressed by his organisation and the speed at which he works. His responses are thought out, confident and supported by facts.”
