Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Having worked with Burges Salmon over many years, we know the real estate team driven by Christopher Herford and Richard Leeming are one of the best in the field. We've had great support in a recent transaction requiring bespoke financing on a complex project, but they helped facilitate a successful execution for us.’
‘I would certainly recommend the experience and skill set we drew from Christopher Herford and Richard Leeming. They've always been personable with us, but especially helped unlock barriers on this financing transaction. ’
‘Rohan Campbell is an excellent facilitator, finance partner, and very experienced.’
‘The team in Bristol are very much familiar with, and close to, the London REF market and seem to work with increasingly dominant clients in the industry.’
‘Katie Allen is a very calm counterparty; she is pragmatic and focussed on getting the deal done.’
