  • 'It is helpful that the construction team is able to draw on support from other specialist advisers in the fields of procurement and employment pensions.’
  • ‘Andrew Tobin has been the main lead partner for our work. He is hands on in his approach. His advice is helpful and clear and he takes the time to churn over difficult issues in contract drafting with the client, so that we feel we arrive at solutions as a team.'
