‘Sonal Thakrar manages to squeeze 36 hours into every business day, Fiona Callaghan seems to be responsible for half of the biggest deals in London, Monika Patel represents the next, exciting generation at the firm. There’s no chance any of them have dandruff because they are “Head and Shoulders” above the industry competition. They must have glue on their hands because when you hand them a property deal they never drop it till it’s finished‘.

‘Each of them is a great communicator and unlike many property solicitors they actually pick up the phone when you need them. In addition they are willing to use their experience to advise clients on the things they can take a view on. My clients love their tech and this has allowed them to provide the best service at a competitive price, in relation to the size of deals they do. In summary, MdR is aptly, streets ahead of the competition in property law’.
