‘Maeve Hanna is a lawyer with extensive public law experience, good breadth of knowledge and a constructive approach to advising clients and ensuring they understand the options before them. She is excellent at engaging and informing counsel and ensuring her legal teams are on top of their work and the issues they should be addressing in any case.’
‘The main strengths are that the practice takes the time to learn about your individual business and add value. Whilst other providers may provide legal advice on the specific issue, the time Allen & Overy take to learn about the business they are advising means their advice is provided knowing the entirety of its impact.’
