Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘They were an excellent team to work with. They quickly developed a good working relationship with clients and counsel, even in challenging circumstances. They were an extremely supportive team and had hugely positive input into the presentation of the case. I would be delighted to work with them again.’
‘I would particularly recommend Shaun Maloney. They were a great team to work with, having sound legal and commercial judgment. They were very adept at handling the opposing team and gaining the trust and confidence of their own clients. I couldn't have wished for more support as counsel.’
