His in-depth practical knowledge of M&A, corporate finance and corporate governance have greatly assisted us in maneuvering across deep and unknown waters. He is easy to deal with and ever available for quick discussions at short notice. Turnaround times are quick too. With his familiarity with the laws and operational knowledge of how the boardroom and transactions actually work, he is able to break down his explanation and advice in simple, easy to understand terms. He takes a very pragmatic and practical approach on his counsel to solve issues and with a lot of commercial sense and understanding built into it. This makes his advice relatable and easy for management to understand, which I think is key to a successful counsel engagement.
