Testimonials

‘The strength of collaboration across the team was something that struck me when dealing with a recent transaction, they supported each other well and had clear sense of collective accountability.’
‘Adam Griffiths (Partner) and Rachel McCausland (Associate) were critical to the success of what we did. Adam provided strategic as well as legal support, was excellent at seeing the bigger picture and I have total confidence in his technical legal knowledge in all things around a transaction. Rachel was tireless in her support of the deal, dealing with all manner of requests accurately and with real professional certainty.’
