Testimonials

‘Use Pinsent Masons team for "Project" work more generally - they are strong as they have a broad team with good reach into the diverse areas of specialism that we would look to engage them on. Very good at getting "into" a business and understanding what the aims are that we are trying to achieve. Not solely out of London - but also use expertise at regional offices well, without you feeling that the offering is disjointed’
‘Nick Ogden - makes you really feel as though he is on the client's side. Thinks strategically and if he isn't finding you answers to problems, is thinking of what may be a problem that you will need an answer too. Andrew Brydon - just strong technically across a number of different disciplines and with a manner that stakeholders like.’
