Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Full engagement by the partners who make it a priority to understand what we are trying to achieve before offering any advice. This is what mainly sets them apart in that other firms are too quick to suggest the usual advice or action that might not achieve the actual goal of the business.'
‘David Crockford really goes above and beyond to understand my company's specific goals or targeted outcome before suggesting legal options. He understands the value in avoiding litigation as much as pursuing it.’
