Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I've found this practice unique in its approach to clients. Very open and clear, breaking down legalese to layman's terms, and always making clear what is required when decisions are to be made over risk and interpretation of the contracts. Available and flexible with respect to our needs.'
‘Paddy Dwyer's calm, highly informed, and open manner has been a huge asset when dealing with contracts that have been contentious and related to sensitive government projects. Very solution-focused and pragmatic about risks, clarifying impact around indemnity, liability and insurance in particular.’
