Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Trowers provide a first-class service. Their Manchester team is knowledgeable and their advice is consistently reliable and robust.’
‘Max Ankers always maintains a calm and balanced demeanour which has a reassuring effect when tensions are running high on a deal. He is an extremely capable lawyer and, as I fed back to Trowers at the end of our recent corporate transaction, it is clear that Max is partnership material and will not delay in getting to that point.'
- 'Paul Ellaby is a calm, sharp and a safe pair of hands.'
‘Every member of the team we dealt with were knowledgeable and professional but what was invaluable to us as a small organisation without any internal legal expertise was the way they patiently explained the document changes/reviews without using jargon and took the time to really understand what we needed.’
‘The individuals we worked with were professional but extremely personable and it made working with them a real pleasure. Victoria Robertson led us through an update of our contract templates as well as negotiating a complex contract and was really supportive and patient.’
