Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Firstly, the team are extremely well-connected both internally and externally, and therefore are able to answer any technical sector queries on a wide range of industries. This sets Pinsents apart from other firms, as they can provide all advice required in relation to a matter, rather than having to contact other sector experts.'
'The team are happy to assist with any problem and always have a positive attitude, which is refreshing, particularly given their advice is often urgent and under difficult circumstances. I would also suggest that the team has demonstrated extremely strong knowledge of case law in relation to insolvency matters and is therefore able to draft responses and documents to a high standard that requires minimal input.’
