Testimonials

gunnercooke have a deep and talented bench of experts that can be called upon to advise on a wide variety of different matters. As a start-up we found their guidance has been invaluable.

Our main partner is James Burnie. James remains a stand-out expert in his field, and he often keeps us informed of legal and regulatory changes that might impact our business before the changes come in to effect.

James Burnie & Edward Black — both are superb. As a start-up crypto fund manager, much of what we are doing is for the first time so they have been very helpful, hand-holding us through the process. Their deep knowledge on esoteric technical aspects of the crypto market re-assured me. They are a great team.
