Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The team fully understood and were up to date with the national and local policy/agenda which they interpreted and advised upon at regular intervals. They established a good working relationship with respective leads within the organisation but also wider stakeholders. They worked collaboratively with us to deliver on our key objectives and within a defined time frame.’

• ‘The individuals were both knowledgeable and personable. They translated the complex, legal context, making it understandable and enabled the internal team to apply this to the key deliverables. The individuals made themselves available for all key meetings and were always amenable to attending any other meetings/discussions.’

• ‘Browne Jacobson's health experts' impressive technical expertise is balanced with pragmatism - working alongside us to identify practical, workable and proportionate solutions which appropriately manage risk.’

• ‘Browne Jacobson have been more than just legal advisors over the last two years, they have been our partners working through some significant challenges. We have valued their ability to see the bigger picture and suggest innovative options, as well as their clarity on matters of law and our governing documents. When swift response was needed I have always been able to get hold of a member of the team for initial verbal advice, which is then followed up in writing.’

• ‘My main contact has been Christian Dingwall and I have found that he gets to know the clients needs and adjusts his offer accordingly whilst always keeping the client on the correct legal lines. I have more recently also worked with Jacqui Atkinson who has also been very insightful in aligning her advice to the specific needs of our organisations.’

• ‘Christian Dingwall’s name is synonymous with health service commercial law, and he is my go-to person for any challenging situation. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the law, coupled with his ability to command the confidence of boards and councils of governors means that he and his team are a real asset to any organisation. His ability to deal with live, time-sensitive situations in a balanced and objective way is a real testament to him and to the team.’

• ‘Christian Dingwall combines confidence and knowledge with charisma and a real ability to hold a room. Hina Ali is a real up and coming lawyer, who works hard to ensure that she delivers all that we ask for and more.’

• ‘Highest level of client care, always willing to go the extra mile.’
