‘James Davison is a joy to work with. He's not only a great lawyer but he's commercial and gets to grips with relevant elements of the business quickly. He's responsive and thoughtful and considers all issues carefully. James is genuinely helpful, offering guidance and thought from all angles, whilst not sitting on the fence.’
‘The team at DLA have been exceptional on recent cases that I have worked with them on. In particular we have recently worked together on an extremely intense case that had created significant workloads against tight timelines for the DLA team. The team reacted extremely quickly to all requests and were available to discuss this case at short notice to meet the timelines that the case required. I enjoy working with the team at DLA who have provided excellent service and advice.’
