Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘James Fisher is knowledgeable and extremely personable. A good guy to have in your corner, providing reliable, sound advice.’

• 'We look for counsel we can really partner with and depend on in the long term. I have met more partners at Alston than any other law firm in the last two years, which demonstrates just how hands on and joined up the practice areas are. As a global service provider, the fit with Alston as a global law firm works extremely well.'

• 'James Fisher is hugely responsive, and possess that rare mix of being both incredibly commercial and technical at the same time. He offers the us deep long-standing experience, exceptional market intel and very strong market expertise. He is always willing to think outside of the box with regards to our position as Trustee and Agent on both new and distressed transactions. He very much understands the pitfalls and nuisances of being a service provider which in turn puts us at ease when transacting on particularly complex deals.'

• ‘The team via James Fisher is quick to mobilise the various areas of expertise we need, particularly in dealing with cross-border Trustee issues which are highly complex and at times litigious. James is highly proactive at introducing us to areas of the firm whose expertise (e.g. liquidations, sanctions & cross-border litigation) is vital to us in the pursuit of our business and derisking it as much as possible from a legal perspective.’

• ‘James Fisher - for proactivity in connecting his firm to us and leveraging broad legal and industry-sector experience in advising us.’
