‘Having worked mainly with the Glasgow team, I have found them all to be switched on and focused on the task at hand.’
‘Claire McCracken has been lead partner on recent deals and she has always shown a clear focus on getting deals over the line, being pragmatic about issues as they arise, and often key to resolving things. We like her approach to negotiating and her understanding of what we need from a deal. Having support from the national team, gives us confidence that we have all the expertise we need.'
