- 'Gary Rose is excellent and a great support, proactive and helpful in all aspects.'
- '7KBW are a premier set in the insurance/reinsurance field and this is evident by the fact that the set is the "go-to" set in all big insurance/reinsurance matters. The aviation insurance losses arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine are the biggest losses the aviation insurance industry has faced (circa $US 10bn) and it is not surprising that the majority of 7KBW are somehow involved in this matter.'
- 'Go to set for shipping and insurance disputes.'
- 'All counsel are exceptional, and most counsel at this set are involved in the Russian aircraft litigation.'
