  • ‘Elaine McGrath gave outstanding service, and was available when we needed to query anything.’

  • ‘Fantastic team, very strong on attention to detail and while I could be dealing with four of the team on the one issue, they all know exactly where we are on the issue. The collaboration with me, the client, is excellent, constantly taking feedback and finding new ways to improve. ’

  • ‘Diligence, persistence and tenacity was apparent in the recent transaction, as well as an ability to plough through the significant volumes of information associated with larger scale transactions.
