- '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 possesses 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. 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.'
