‘A market leading corporate practice, with in depth knowledge of the market and strength in depth.

‘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. They presented  clearly articulated options to the board and, then having considered and taken a decision, they were then able to execute and implement with the minimum of fuss.’

‘David Taylor is the standout member of the corporate team – he provides pragmatic, reasoned advice and understands our business inside and out. He is involved in all of our biggest transactions and consistently helps get deals done.’

‘Guy Coltman is exceptional. I believe he had our backs covered every step of the way. He was able to think outside the box and to come up with a strategy that was bold, imaginative and yet ultimately 100% deliverable. He was able to give extremely commercial and practical advice to drive a positive outcome.’

‘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. They are experienced, commercial, legally curious and able to problem solve and flexible enough to be able to work to whatever client requirement on an outcome needs, rather than being bogged down if it is a non-standard matter.’
