'Simon Ratcliffe is experienced and practical and can bring an element of calm at a time when all may seem to be mayhem. It is a quality which should make him much sought after as an adviser. I certainly appreciated it during the sale of my business.'
‘Mark Williams is absolutely brilliant. I couldn't be more grateful for his diligence, commitment and hard work. I've already recommended him to a colleague.’
'The Greene & Greene corporate team has built a niche practice assisting London Market insurance brokers and MGAs providing quality corporate and commercial advice. It is not all that they do, but their experience and expertise is deep and matches in quality many London City firms with which they compete. The difference is that they bring a strong element of practicality and pragmatism.'
