They are more than capable of taking on the magic circle and will be as robust as the case requires, whilst maintaining a commercial outlook.’

I feel that the fees were kept sensible and the dialogue was kept focused to stay on track with respect to both process and billings.’

‘With respect to my experience with Carol Ellinas specifically, it would be hard to envision a more ideal outcome’.

‘Great at communicating and getting back to you. Both Carol and Lucy were entirely focused on the matter at hand when we were interacting’.

The advice and recommendations were always excellent and typically it was a quick response’.
