Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘I have dealt with many professional services firms over the years and the OC hedge practice stands out due to its very high level of client focus. This is most manifest in turnaround times. Their view is that when one has asked for something, then it is needed, so should be turned around swiftly.’
