  • 'What differentiates Mayer Brown is partner accessibility. During transactions there is a substantial amount of formulaic process, but when you need timely problem solving you need a partner with experience and familiarity with the deal. Mayer Brown provide that, together with a joined up approach across departments.'
  • 'Kate Ball Dodd and her team are tenacious, deal driven and understand the client's commercial imperatives. That is key when there are deadlines, competitive dynamics etc. You can speak to anyone in the team at any level and they know what is going on. If they are unable to resolve the issue themselves, it is seamlessly elevated and a senior team member will deal with it responsively.'
