Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We have found the service provided to be excellent and Peter Bredin was very much hands-on, which is what we required given the sensitivity of the situation.’
‘Peter Bredin was excellent in his support and this helped our volunteer directors to feel that they could rely on his judgement and expertise in the matters involved.’
‘Peter Bredin was the partner who managed a dispute resolution for us. He not only did the disciplined legal work, but was also attentive and listened to our desires and approaches. He advised us well with barristers and was realistic in his guidance. People don’t know how to go through these things and it’s really valuable for a client.’
