Testimonials

‘Benedict Smith is responsive and commercially very astute in addition to being a very good lawyer indeed. He is the whole package.’
‘Holly Baker is incredibly hard working and has a tactical awareness beyond her PQE. I have worked with Holly on three matters, one a multi-million property dispute. Holly had a fantastic tactical awareness (e.g. what disclosure should we seek, when should we send Part 36 offers) that belied her PQE. She was fun to work with. Unflappable during a crisis - of which there were many.'
