Greene & Greene in Bury St Edmunds is regarded as 'providing a London service' to its clients, who reportedly appreciate the ‘excellent strategic thinking and foresight' of Michael Batty and Rob Adam, as well as their ability to ’work together with counsel to achieve the best result'. The ‘efficient, knowledgeable and user-friendly' Sarah Western focuses predominantly on construction litigation, but is also highly regarded for her general commercial disputes work. Adam and Western recently brought a breach of fiduciary duty claim against two outgoing directors of Henry Williams Limited on behalf of a client, arising from their actions allegedly wrongfully assisting a competing company.
