Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Hillmont's approach to private client matters is extremely innovative. They have the perfect balance of legal and commercial. Large law firms often focus too much on the legal aspect, causing significant costs that could be averted with a practical approach. Hillmont acknowledges that there is never a one-size-fits-all approach for private clients.’
‘James Hart is recognised for a reason. Put simply, he embarrasses significant international law partners against whom he is set.’
