Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘We worked with the Freeths corporate and financial services team on a few M&A deals last year and they are a pleasure to work with. They made the transaction as smooth as possible for us and their easy access to relevant specialist expertise throughout the Freeths wider firm was hugely beneficial to ensure the deal completed as planned. ’

  • ‘Great knowledge for dispute resolution and complex corporate and shareholder tax advice. The breadth of the dispute resolution team means that lots of lessons and experience from the past are brought to bear on situations.’

  • ‘The team worked together very well, and also worked well with our other advisors. This really helped the transaction go smoothly as we were not needing to relay information and remind people of the status of matters involved.’

  • ‘Peter Crawford provides a consistently pragmatic and calm approach to dealmaking.’
