‘Minters has a very strong litigation team and is a clear first choice for bet-the-company litigation. Two things that stand out are exceptional client engagement and efficiency when running cases. Teams are appropriately sized and resourced, and the client is kept in the loop at all stages: the aim of "no surprises" is achieved.'
