‘Stephanie Townley, Managing Associate: was the key relationship for the project and I was very pleased with her performance. Her way of working helped to diffuse some difficult situations between the Trust and the subsidiary and I would pick this out as a considerable strength in her approach.

Michael O’Connor, Partner: also provided some essential support at various important decision stages. Mike’s strengths are clearly his considerable range of knowledge on the subject matter and his ability to be very incisive in identifying potential risks and mitigating actions.‘

‘We have worked closely with the team for a number of years which means they have a deep understanding of our projects and are able to provide practical legal and commercial support. The benefit of this relationship over a long period is they have a breadth of the history related to the project.’

‘The AG team are health care sector experts with long experience of acting for health sector clients including leading pharmaceutical producers. The long-standing nature of their relationships mean that they really know their clients and their knowledge of the regulatory environment is particularly impressive.’

‘This is an outstanding team with a high level of technical knowledge. They are client focused and do what is right for the business rather than fee-centred. They are professional and but also very personable and easy to work with.’

‘Responsive, knowledgeable and proficient.’

‘Go the extra mile with providing networking opportunities and sending relevant briefings.’

‘Breadth of expertise is impressive and extremely helpful for multi-faceted legal issues. This also provides the Trust with the assurance of having one place to go to for the full range of areas of law we encounter. The size of the firm also means that urgent instructions can be picked up and dealt with quickly, which has been particularly useful recently when we received last minute notice of a hearing about a complex issue.’

‘Considerable experience and expertise in healthcare governance.’

‘They are willing to work with us to find the right solution, not just offer advice. They know when to pick up the phone to better understand an issue and when to provide formal documented advice.’

‘The Weightmans team are a pleasure to work with – they are strong across the board.’

‘Morris Hill who is a truly excellent solicitor – he is razor sharp but hugely personable with it. He has a command of his cases, and his area of law, which is second to none.’

‘I have worked with a number of people from the firm and each one of them has a fantastic grasp of their particular field and is able to help clients who do not have their expertise understand the important issues and ensure that all the points are covered. We have felt guided but not herded towards conclusions and the approach has been helpful in a number of key areas notably NHS Property and GDPR/Confidentiality and areas where case law had not yet been established.’

‘My highest praise goes to Jennifer Lewis who works as a Principal Associate.’

‘Within the north west team, two individuals stand out for me – Charlotte Lewis and Jennifer Lewis, who have both been outstanding in their support. Both have very positive approaches to work, always seem to be available to answer ad hoc questions, regardless of workload and often proactive in providing advice and market intelligence, making it very clear that they understand our business and what is important to us. Charlotte has also spent a lot of time on client relationship matters. She has been quick to understand my internal team structure and to adapt legal services to suit. It is unusual to find a senior associate with this level of client relationship focus in addition to subject matter experience.’

‘I have yet to find someone who knows more about property issues within the health sector than Jennifer Lewis. Her understanding of the market and knowledge of the other landlords within it means I can rely on her to provide robust advice on any and all lease requirements I have.’
