Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘I genuinely could not be happier with the legal team at Travers. They are so responsive and always find sensible and practical solutions to any issues that come . The quality of service we have had from this law firm compared to our previous one is exponential.' 

  • 'I really like how the junior team rotate but this never impacts on delivery which just goes to show how much they invest in their junior team members making sure they are up to speed. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeremy Elmore and Jonathan Trent as a dream team to any other Funds in the mid-market space looking for lawyers.’

  • ‘Jonathan Trent is a superstar. I genuinely would have been lost without him during our fundraising process. He is so calm. I have never seen him get flustered or overwhelmed. I think this is a real sign of someone that has confidence because they are great at their job.' 

  • ‘Solutions oriented, great client dedication, commercial understanding.' 

  • ‘Jeremy Elmore is solutions oriented.'
