‘Chris Brightling was an empathetic and responsive lawyer who clearly new his area of law very well. I did not feel a number in the system but rather a real person that he truly wanted to help. Chloe Palmer was an integral part of the team and was able to field questions and let me know when to expect responses or set dates for follow on activity. Again, highly professional in approach.’
