Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'As with all law firms, it is not the brand, but the individuals. I have no hesitation in leaving any law firm to follow the solicitor, because we trust the solicitor not the brand.'
'David Marsh is our commercial solicitor and has been for many years. Utterly efficient, committed and professional. Fees are agreed in advance and he is always extremely prompt with delivering the service we require.'
‘The quality of their real estate work is excellent. I appreciate that they understand our business which is drainage and navigation, and therefore different from the norm and produces unusual issues and problems.’
‘ I work mostly with James Steward, who provides us with an excellent service.’
