Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘Emma Peterson is the lead partner we deal with. She is super practical and commercial. She understands what is important to our business and cuts to the critical decisions for us really quickly. She really ensures we have the full spectrum of outcomes to consider in our decisions.’
- ‘Emma and the team are exceptional at providing practical "in the moment" advice, which really helps us as a lot of the issues we raise are time-bound. The team understand our business, which makes for quick cut-through to what matters. I like that they are able to outline the spectrum of outcomes but narrow it down to which one suits us, our culture and business very quickly. I love their monthly online sessions on practical topics, and have found their sessions for our team to be helpful and interactive. It almost feels like there isn't a lot of "pure" law – just law as practically applied.’
