‘Sean is exceptional at every level, whether it is in relation to drafting, advocacy or client interaction. His cross-examination is so good, that it is sometimes simply not possible to see where Sean is taking a point until he arrives at the destination. He is the complete package.’

‘Zac is a go-to for sports work, not least his skillset within the fields of employment, data protection and litigation. Very easy to work with, client friendly and helps clients to navigate choppy waters. Extremely bright and outshines a lot of more senior barristers. Diligent, always thoroughly prepared, he wipes the floor with his opponents. Zac is a brilliant tactician and works seamlessly with solicitor teams to provide timely pragmatic and commercial advice.’

‘Very friendly, approachable and happy to help. Quickly grasped the complexity of the case but, rather than drowning in the legal issues, his advice was always very straightforward with a strong emphasis on the best commercial approach for the client.’
