Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘CMS impressed us with their handling of a matter which involved severe and potentially catastrophic injuries emanating from a road traffic accident in the UAE. They dealt appropriately with jurisdictional issues.'
‘No other defendant firm has been involved in as much high profile, high value, heavy PI litigation (with a particular emphasis on industrial disease) as CMS. That's reflected in the high quality of the staff, led by the effective combination of Tim Riordan and Jeremy Fletcher.’
