The Marriott Harrison dispute resolution team is different to many of its competitors because of the high-standard, partner-led service whereas if we were to instruct one of the large City firms our work would be dealt with on a day to day basis by more junior lawyers. The team also has exceptional front-line court experience which differentiates them from many of their larger competitors who do not get into court as much.

We have worked primarily with Tamar Halevy who heads up the dispute resolution team. Tamar has been fully involved in, and on top of, all the details and complexity of our case right from the beginning and all the way through. She has provided sound legal advice and has been tenacious in seeking to achieve a commercial outcome for us in the case. She has constantly made herself available to communicate with us on the matter.

The firm offers very cost-effective approach and maintains good quality of services, which is a distinguishing feature.

Tamar Halevy is always there to provide a practical advice and ensure the most effective strategy.
