Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I always find the proactive nature of all of the team members at Wilson Gunn their biggest strength. As a client I never have to worry about how best to protect our ideas, and this also extends to the more admin side of life; deadlines are never a concern either. The team's areas of expertise are wide-ranging, and I particularly love that trainees are brought in to work on our cases.'
‘I have worked with partners James Robey and Mark Jolly for several years now; both are lightning fast at getting to grips with our sometimes left-field inventions and suggesting the best ways to get the broadest possible protection. It's heartening that there are several associates at the firm who I work with who started off as trainees there: Henry Shine stand outs for his diligence and great advice.'
