Morgan LaRoche

With a its main base in Swansea and increasingly active from the firm's thriving Carmarthen office, the 'superb' practice at Morgan LaRoche punches well-above-its weight, regularly 'dealing with difficult and heavy cases', both locally and throughout the UK. A litigator of 'long and broad experience', Jason Williams reflects the varied caseload of the firm as a whole and 'his experience across different fields makes him an imaginative and flexible solver of problems'. Llyr Davies, who co-heads the team with Williams from the firm's Carmarthen office, provides 'no-nonsense, pragmatic and cost-effective advice' to West Walian clients often in the medium of Welsh. As well as his expertise in relation to shareholder, company and partnership disputes, Davies has also generated an excellent relationship with local professional services companies which continues to generate a significant amount of contentious insolvency work, as well as a growing amount of contentious probate matters. In Swansea, the 'extremely hardworking' Gemma Thomas continues to thrive, producing 'fantastic work that is both clear and detailed'; she recently worked with Williams on a successful hearing before the Court of Appeal, having herself led on the previous successful appearance in the High Court for the claimant regarding the inflated payment of a company in reliance of false warranties and fraudulent misrepresentations. Ashley Davies 'provides clear and precise commercial advice' for defendants and claimants in relation to shareholder disputes, debt recovery and professional negligence, while at an associate level the 'up and coming' Robert Davies also continues to impress across a range of corporate and insolvency disputes.
