Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'Extensive and indisputable experience and deep tactical awareness.'
  • 'From my perspective, with too many years in a litigious environment, I do believe that this one experience was not as painful as it might have been had we not had them batting for us, and it is extremely comforting to know that insurers have such talent and quality in their armoury. In a professional capacity I’ve met and faced many adversaries over the years and all I can say is that without any hesitation whatsoever I would always prefer Matthew Reynolds and Malcolm Rogers on my side.'
