Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We have been impressed with the support and strong commercial advice we received from the team at Browne Jacobson. There were a number of complexities with this transaction which required real collaboration between all parties, and I was always impressed by the responsiveness, pragmatism and support Ryan Brown and the team provided. They were always able to breakdown and contextualise technical legal issues into points we could understand and therefore respond to, and we are very grateful for that.’
‘Ryan Brown went above and beyond my expectation, making himself available whenever we needed to contact him. Also breaking down the legal jargon to simple English.’
‘Excellent understanding of the clients needs with great preparation for any meetings unlike other firms who take on more than they can handle BJ are always available and come in on or around budget - which shows great integrity which can be hard to find in these times.’
‘Honest, hardworking and good interpersonal skills, not always watching the clock.’
‘Mid-market PE experience is excellent with a range of experience and specialist knowledge. A full service firm, but geared to the mid-market (including lower mid-market) rather than the smaller OMB business. Ability to bring in specialists to transactional work to ensure dedicated and knowledgeable lawyers focus on key issues. The team is growing and links in well with Nottingham head office.’
‘Ryan Brown is a rising star in the M&A world. Pete Allen has an abundance of experience and a particular 'way' with clients - living the journey through their eyes and building a strong emotional connection. Ryan is continuing to gain a reputation in the PE sector as a very capable and dynamic lawyer who gets deals completed.'
‘They are extremely responsive, and through Peter Allen, are providing a city service from Manchester.’
‘Great M&A advice on our recent transaction.’
