Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The team is well placed to offer legal advice alongside tax advice.'
- 'Tristan Mutimer, head of Corporate Legal, is extremely knowledgeable and professional in his approach. He limits the use of legal jargon, ensuring that clients are able to follow the often complicated legal process.'
- 'There are a number of factors which make this team unique, these can be summarised as: 1) The team performs high-value work directed to the right client priorities - the team is focused on adding value and ensuring the client remains central to their advice. 2) The team’s lawyers solve problems rather than erect roadblocks - a real commercial outlook and looking beyond just the legal framework and issues. You never receive a list of problems, but rather well considered options.'
- 'Tristan Mutimer (Partner) - Tristan cares about exceptional client service and works hard to deliver commercially focused legal solutions which achieve his clients objectives. He comes across as confident and knowledgeable about his area of expertise and will always refer queries onto a subject matter specialist where he feels it is outside of his remit. Tristan will also work hard to deliver to timescales he is set! His work ethic is therefore well known among his regular clients.'
