Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘This is a law firm that I genuinely enjoy working with and which seems to thrive on complexity. They ensure that all team members have a high level knowledge of all ongoing work streams and therefore a high level understanding of how their findings may impact on other areas.’

  • ‘It feels as though we have an in-house team with Browne Jacobson. They know my business as well as I do and tailor support according to what myself and the senior team know. There is a personal feel to the management of accounts that I have not encountered elsewhere.’

  • ‘I now consider Sandra Wong to be an incredibly important part of my own business team. Though her support is external, she has taken the time to understand our business as well as anybody internal, and can offer advice based upon historic detail and tailored to suit the specific needs of our business.'

  • 'I don’t know anybody who can balance commercial awareness, with a sound protective understanding of legal boundaries in the way Sandra Wong can. I feel secure and supported knowing that Sandra and her team are a backstop to my business.'
