Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘An incredibly knowledgeable team with fantastic client care. The defence has been thoroughly investigated and thought through before input is requested from counsel.’
‘Sian Morgan is intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable and delivers fantastic client care. Able to manage complex cases and look at issues from all angles.’
‘I have been consistently impressed with the service from the clinical risk team - professional, approachable, responsive, proactive, clear and thorough.’
‘I don't know of a firm that has such a range of talented solicitors, which stretches across both their Bristol and London offices. The team is thorough and will often try to nip cases in the bud quickly, with a good track record of sniffing out spurious or weak claims and ensuring they do not go past the response stage. A superb firm.’
‘Sian Morgan is highly personable and an excellent team leader. Always keen to put up a good fight for her client.'
'James Davies is very personable and knows his subject. James gets the brokers' perspective as well, which is a standout quality.'
'Genevieve Isherwood is someone who really gets the insurance industry and knows when a commercial deal makes sense. Very intelligent and, as with most RPC solicitors, very personable.’
