Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'I have worked with the corporate team at Mishcon de Reya for many years, beginning when they were still part of Taylor Vinters, and then after they merged with Mishcon. I can say that the team are one of the best I have worked with. The corporate team in particular have helped me with my last three start-up companies, and in each case they have provided excellent support and advice from startup through scale up and eventually trade sale/exit.'

  • 'Chris Keen remains one of the best corporate lawyers in the UK. His expertise in startups and growth stage life science and biotech companies is profound. He is approachable and always provides pragmatic advice. One thing I really value in Chris is his ability to quickly appreciate the mix of legal and business aspects of any deal, and he is willing to not only advise, but recommend sensible courses of action. Too often legal advisers just give all the options and don't necessarily pitch one as better than the other.'
