Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘A really broad range of expertise across the team with a real sense of a common purpose.'

• ‘The firm really does believe in access to justice. They are well known for high-profile cases, but it is the lesser known, sometimes more complicated cases that should be celebrated. The team works tirelessly for all their clients.’

• ‘Ruth Harris is an extremely talented lawyer. She is able to advise clients carefully and with accuracy. She is approachable, but commands respect. She also practices law with compassion.’

• ‘Kiran Mehta is the standout solicitor. He gives every case his all, which is considerable, given that he is frighteningly clever and one of the best lawyers in the field.’

• ‘Possibly the best firm of criminal solicitors conducting publicly funded work, and also offer an excellent service to privately funded clients. They have a large team that has continually prospered through recruiting excellent trainees and investing in people. It is notable that many of the leading individuals at high profile firms specialising in private client work built their practices and reputations at HJA.’

• ‘Ruth Harris is an excellent solicitor. Ruth is thorough, diligent and capable of digesting large amounts of material quickly. She also has a friendly and approachable manner that I can see puts her clients at ease.’
