• ‘I cannot recommend them enough for white collar work. I had the great opportunity to work with them under difficult circumstances with a complicated matter abroad during the height of the pandemic. Ultimately it involved three regulatory agencies. After a significant amount of effort by them and me, we received declinations in all three. I am very grateful. The approach was rational, hard charged and thorough.’
