Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Pinsent Masons is very experienced as counsel in international arbitrations. Their cross-border team is very effectively staffed and their lawyers are legally and commercially strong across all levels of seniority. They are currently handling a set of proceedings that is factually, technically, and legally complex, involving expert reports numbering hundreds of pages and factual matters going back about a decade. However, they were able to quickly distill the key issues, digest this information, and formulate and execute an effective strategy going forward. ’
- 'They are also incredibly strategic and thoughtful. They can anticipate the counter-party's tactics, and always provide reasoned and honest assessments of the pros and cons of any one approach.'
