Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'A fairly small corporate and banking team that does the same work as the larger Guernsey firms. The team is very responsive.'

  • 'Helen McGeogh has always been very knowledgeable and quick to respond.'

  • 'Gavin Farrell and Stuart Nash, very responsive and competent team.'

  • 'A small but very user-friendly legal team led by Gavin Farrell, a leading and highly experienced Guernsey advocate. A great alternative to some of the larger Guernsey firms.'

  • 'Flexible and extremely responsive. Always willing to help and available. I regularly recommend members of the team to others.'

  • 'The team was willing, pragmatic, available when we needed them and most importantly very understanding of our uncertainty and changing requirements. Their approach to us as an organisation was first class and in terms of billing they charged us exactly what they quoted - although I suspect our ever-changing needs resulted in them working much longer and harder than they budgeted!'

  • 'The team is dynamic, thorough and responsive. They provide quality and accurate advice and services in a timely manner.'

  • 'Gavin Farrell was straight to the point, not trying to charge the highest fees possible, but was concerned about us getting the right setup to complete our request. He was also very reactive as we changed the scope of the mandate, and immediately proposed several options that could be implemented while prudently assessing the risks related to each new request. Gavin Farrell has a good network in Guernsey and is able to propose plug and play solutions that work.'
