Testimonials

  • 'It is a strong all-round practice in the construction disputes space. Especially good for defence against industrial summonses/prosecutions due to their deep familiarity of local language and culture, that is often critical to such matters.'
  • 'They have a fantastic level of knowledge and attention to detail. Whilst the subject matter of the projects that we work on is often very complex, the team is able and willing to get stuck in and understand the issues quickly.'
