Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Very skilled at explaining a complex subject to non-experts, enabling them to understand the contract drafting. A strength is definitively the collaborative working, and the aim to make the customer content with the outcome. Provided an excellent guide to the Intellectual property conditions in the contract, which the whole team were able to follow and use when receiving deliverables, this has proved to be invaluable for managing the contract.'
