Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'They have quality lawyers who have mainly qualified and practiced in the city. Because of their lower costs being outside London they deliver a service comparable to the big London firms at competitive pricing. We do not get teams of lawyers working on our matters inefficiently. A tight team of lawyers that are joined up and personable.'
  • 'Stephen Hamilton is very responsive. As a smallish cap AIM listed entity, we are an important client for him - which would not be the case for a partner in a large city firm.'
  • 'Sensible, commercial approach.'
  • 'Stephen Hamilton is the most pragmatic yet professional lawyer I have worked with.'
