  • ‘The team in Manchester is our go-to for property matters in the UK. They provide quality commercial advice in a timely fashion, which is important as we are based overseas in a different time zone. The advice is not purely legal and, therefore, the advice that they provide is highly valued.’

  • ‘We generally work with Dave Lawson but where he's unavailable, he always ensures that there is a partner that has been briefed that can provide seamless advice in his place.’
