‘Diverse team with all levels of experience and cultural background. Reed Smith and its alliance partner stand out.’
‘Peter Glover has exceptional experience as a former mariner, and Australia- and English-qualified solicitor. He has an impressively busy practice in Singapore and Hong Kong and seems to get involved in almost every shipping casualty in the region. As an instructing solicitor he is not slow to challenge counsel's views where he feels he needs to, but does so in a way that strengthens the team rather than undermining it.’
