Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Fantastic teamwork and an amazing outcome on a difficult case with both arbitration and litigation ongoing in England, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. The team collaborates and organises itself brilliantly. They come up with creative solutions to difficult problems, always with the considerations of their client at the forefront of their minds. Their legal input to the case was of great assistance to the barrister team and they were great fun to work with too.’
‘Rebecca Copley as head of the litigation and management team provided a stellar client service to a very hands-on and interested client. She tested the counsel team on alternative routes and gave us several points to consider, so that we had thought through all the possible angles for the client. A fantastic organiser and collaborator, she managed the multiple workstreams with ease.'
