‘When working with Humphreys, they always keep you informed as to the development of the matter.’
‘Humphreys & Co is a small firm, but it punches well above its weight. In the cases I have worked with them on, they have gone up against (and beaten) much bigger firms. The individual lawyers all work extremely hard for their clients; they are tenacious negotiators; and have the ability to see both the legal complexities of a case and the client's commercial objectives, and to blend those two in a way which is surprisingly rare among commercial lawyers.’
‘Robert Humphreys is extremely hard-working; he is an experienced litigator with an ability to cut to the core of any case in an instant. He negotiates incredibly hard for his clients. He is a pleasure to work with.’
‘I have worked with this exceptional niche practice for many years. Led by the astute and commercially-focused Robert Humphreys, this firm specialises in heavyweight commercial litigation and has always punched well above its weight. It has particular expertise in construction, IP and insurance-related claims as well as significant experience in international litigation.’
‘Humphreys & Co provide a high quality service which is comparable to London firms which would probably have significantly higher charge-out rates.’
‘Robert Humphreys is a standout lawyer at the firm. As an adviser, he gives clear and straightforward advice to his clients. As a litigator, he is unafraid of dealing with complicated or difficult cases, and will fight hard for his clients' interests.’
‘I have worked with Robert Humphreys who is clearly a formidable lawyer. He is easy to work with. He is very responsive and retains an intimate knowledge of his cases. As a partner I would describe him as red hot.’
‘Quick responses and wise counsel particularly when you are embroiled in a tricky dispute and emotions are high. The lawyers who work go out of their way to explain the knotty issues clearly in language you can understand. As a business run by people of colour it does mean a lot to us that the team including the barristers introduced by the firm are diverse.’
‘Robert Humphrey is a no-nonsense, practical protagonist who leads from the front.’
