Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We've enjoyed a successful working relationship with Cripps for many years now. They are able to support all of our UK focussed requirements via their numerous specialist divisions. Everyone I've worked with at Cripps has a down to earth approach and an ability to break down and simplify the areas where we need their support.
‘Pete Kenyon as an individual is someone that I have personally trusted for more than 15 years now. Pete possesses a natural ability to cut to the underlying commercial decisions to be made at the heart of any new job that we assign. I always appreciate Pete's approach which often involves translating complicated points of law into easily digestible facts to aid swift and effective decision making.
‘Excellent knowledge and understanding of the media sector. Great commercial awareness and appreciation of appropriate yardsticks for contract negotiations in the sector.’
‘Efficient, quick-turnarounds, willing to go above and beyond, excellent judgement ’
‘Cripps offer quality legal advice to us on specific complex matters that we're unable to handle internally. They provide this advice often to tight deadlines and they are always readily available. They have a new hire who has a particular specialty in data protection and AI and we expect to require advice in this area over the coming years.’
