Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The main strength of the teams is the broad range of experience from different lawyers, in particular how they pass on this knowledge and experience to younger upcoming lawyers.’
‘Suzanne Middleton Lyndsey is someone whom you can literally take any problem to, and they will always find a solution. Sometimes you feel you cannot be open with lawyers because your problem maybe "too small" but never felt that way with Druces.’
