BDB Pitmans‘ varied workload includes advising on commercial contracts in the health and charity sectors - such as contracts for the provision of complex clinical services over multiple hospital sites - but the group particularly stands out for its expertise in technology agreements. Practice head Duncan Walker is instrumental to the group’s advice on technology and IP contracts, and Hollie Gallagher is a key contact for contracts relating to commercial transactions. Olivia Mulvany is also a noted team member.
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘One of BDB Pitman's strengths is their depth of experience throughout the practice, enabling them to provide an extensive and knowledgeable service. Their commercial team have built up a highly engaging relationship with myself, my team and our business, which allows for an easier transition and a greater understanding of our requirements and needs. Commercially they are very competitive and always transparent with their costs prior to engagement.’
‘Our designated team of lawyers go out of their way to understand our business and therefore are able to provide an effective service in a more timely manner. Both Hollie Gallagher and Oliver Willis are highly thought of in our organisation for their proactive, collaborative support and fantastic advice. They are seen as a virtual extension of our own teams, and are always available for consultation and advice.’
‘Everyone I've worked with at BDB Pitmans has been incredibly helpful, considerate, provided clear advice and support, and delivered what they have said they would, when they said they would. They have all been quick to understand what is required - asking questions appropriately - and then providing support to help decision making and negotiating position. They have then provided robust and pragmatic support to ensure contract negotiation completion.'
- 'The team appear to work well together and in my experience there is always oversight provided to ensure continuity of support should the lead be unavailable for any reason. On occasion where specialist knowledge is required, others within the firm are engaged to provide this.'
- 'A stand out point for me is, despite very different characters, when things have become heated in contract negotiations they have all been able to maintain a calm, measured, polite and firm stance.'
- 'They have been mindful of costs when negotiations have taken longer than expected and suggested ways to mitigate.'
- 'The professionals at the firm are very business oriented and further to a sound technical background, they always think about the business objectives.'
