Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Longmores is an outstanding firm both for its significant amount of commercial work undertaken and the individual members.'
- 'Longmores were able to provide the necessary skills in contract law, HR, security (debentures & guarantees etc), legal & financial due diligence. They were able to help us use a data room which enabled quick access by both sets of solicitors.’
‘Each member of the team was very knowledgeable in the subject matter they provided.'
- 'The deal became quite aggressive but Longmores never flinched or succumbed to the buyers' solicitors who were taking hard positions particularly about the security they were providing for partial deferred consideration.'
- 'I would have no hesitation in using and recommending Longmores again.'
