Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘From my perspective Druces provided sensible, commercial advice focused on achieving my aims and navigating the issues thrown in our way by the other side and their advisors.'
‘Adrian Footer was excellent at taking a commercial approach to the challenges faced. He did not seek to overcomplicate, took a pragmatic stance and provided sensible advice to achieve my aims. This is differentiated from previous experiences where I have seen legal teams get too involved in the legal minutiae and because they lose sight of the bigger picture and actually end up being a hindrance to the commercial aims of the agreement.’
‘The team are responsive and genuinely care about providing good customer service.'
‘They are patient and avoid legal jargon to ensure a clear mutual understanding.'
