‘This is a mid-sized team operating at the level of a much larger team, with the knowledge and experience to help us out of a tight spot when we need it.’
‘Partner Jamie Thomas leads the team with diplomacy and experience in South and South-east Asian transactions. Having spent many years leading transactions himself, he is now training the next generation of lawyers in his team to take on these matters, but will step in when needed. He is a reassuring presence on some of our more complex transactions.'
