Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Working with Burges was a pleasure. They were extremely hard working to meet some very challenging deadlines, while also dealing with some challenging stakeholders. The key take away from the team that impressed me the most was their patience working with myself and other colleagues who were unfamiliar with this process and the complex terminology, and they always ensured that we were able to understand the next steps.'
- 'The team provide timely advice and ensure any changes to an agreement are to the point and only necessary.'
- 'The team is very knowledgeable and proactive in advising the client of potential options as well as risks of each. The team goes above and beyond in terms of its service to clients, i.e. always approachable and friendly, fast reaction and turnaround times, sufficiently resourced. They have the required expertise to advise on health-related matters and are my go-to firm for health and procurement-related law.'
