He is very responsive, direct, excellent knowledge and doesn't waste time telling me things I already know. His advice is always very balanced, very commercially focussed and very clear.’
‘Mill & Reeve are able to offer a breadth of expertise and take time to get to know their customers in order to provide appropriate advice.’
