‘The family team at MacNabs is unrivalled locally, both in terms of knowledge/expertise but also professionalism and integrity. They have excellent strength and depth across the team with a good mix of senior partners and more junior assistants, all of whom are excellent.’
‘Ruth Croman is a force of nature. Her technical ability is excellent but she is also compassionate and fights hard for her clients. I always breathe a sigh of relief if Ruth is on the "other side" of a case, as I know that she will be firm, fair and pragmatic and we work well together.'
