Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'The service we received was excellent. TLT provided an excellent blend of knowledge on IT contracts and implementation in financial services, enabling us to focus on key issues. Advice was provided to meet our timescales.'
  • ‘They get on and do the work quickly and efficiently, without racking up fees on things that are unnecessary. They do not take advantage of non-technical clients by offering to do lots of non-legal work. Quick and responsive to urgent requests.’

  • 'Eleanor McClelland has great market knowledge and a sensible drafting approach. The matters that she oversees have always run as smoothly as can be expected and she capably manages the mix of specialists required, ensuring value for money and not allowing a niche specialism to take focus away from the main drive of the transaction when it is not required.’
