- 'JG Poole is a diverse practice where several disciplines are available in a coordinated way. Key partners are accessible at every stage of a project and all work together seamlessly to deliver speedy and positive outcomes. The practice is truly commercial, able to get to the root of any issue quickly and hence ensure speedy resolution and success where many firms become bogged down in minutae. There is a real "can do" approach to their work.'
- 'Jason Poole is the most commercially focused solicitor that I have ever met. He is able to think outside the box to identify the real issues that matter, without slowing transactions with belligerence and bluster. He is one of the brightest legal minds in commercial law in England. Helen Bolton has a grasp of corporate and banking detail that is second to none. As a team, Jason and Helen are a truly formidable team who I have absolute confidence in.'
