Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘They have exceptional people who are just as competent as the lawyers you will find in magic circle law firms.’
‘They are able to staff high quality and senior personnel on projects rather than outsourcing to juniors, which means that clients are communicating directly with the people who are into the details. This is especially helpful on the due diligence side, where a lot of this work in other firms is not overseen by partners.’
