‘The team, led by partner Guy Coltman and supported by Counsel, David Allen was small and yet extremely agile and was quickly able to get to grasp with the challenges that we faced and the legal issues they posed.

‘The market leading Jersey legal practice, with increased strength in other offshore jurisdictions. It is keen to take time to understand other advisers, who they treat and consider as colleagues as far as practicable on a project.
