Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘Strong team, good Lloyd's and company market insurance knowledge, and excellent transaction capability.’
‘James Mee, Matthew Griffiths and William Hogarth are all very capable, knowledgeable, responsive and personable. They are able to have strategic discussions rather than giving a purely legal answer.’
'RPC's corporate insurance and regulatory team has a specific spot in the London P&C/Lloyd's market that they have made their own. The team balances a fine line between being very commercial and very technical, and know when to pivot between the two. They are very user friendly and focused on their clients and contacts.'
'I work with James Mee and William Hogarth. Both are excellent.'
