‘I worked with AG on an IP project. We got to exactly the solution we desired, and they had the knowledge to advise on pitfalls I hadn't anticipated. Great quality advice coupled with a commercially minded approach are their assets.’
‘I had the pleasure of working with Georgina Powling and Jemma Green. Both of whom were excellent. They were competent, commercially minded and pragmatic. They were quick to respond and whilst we were a very small client of theirs, we were still made to feel as if we were their only one.’
