Testimonials

‘The team is non-contentious but it has contentious experience as well which is a great advantage to the team because it means that it can better anticipate risks and seek to mitigate them. A key strength lies in the PFI sector. The team has expertise in the nuances and commercial imperatives that apply in PFI contracts.'
‘Christian Charles and Andrew Bessemer Clark often work as a team. Their skills, experience and personalities are complementary to each other. Both are highly capable in their own right and their joint engagement enhances the advice that the client receives. Both are exceptionally committed to giving their clients the best advice and service.’
