Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I found the corporate tax team at DLA Piper to be responsive. They give commercially-focused, targeted advice on complex matters. The team were willing and able to adjust their focus to the level of the individual client; recognising and acknowledging the correct level to pitch advice at depending on who they are dealing with. Uniquely strong technically, and from a client care perspective.’
‘Nick Hinton is technically excellent and able to articulate complicated concepts in a digestible and straightforward manner. Nick took the initiative to work directly and independently with tax counterparts on transactional matters without needing oversight from the client, but always working within client-set timetables.’
