Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘TW were a partner and senior leader-led team, which stands out during crunch time of the transaction. They were great to deal with as a buy side adviser, and were solutions oriented.’

  • ‘Paddy Quinlan listened to what our position and requirements were, listened to what was important to us. Did not come back over and over with positions we would have rejected. Then over the next few months, consistently upheld what we wanted and delivered. Stress was low, and the result was excellent.’

  • ‘Paddy Quinlan and Ameer Gazder were key in getting us through legal due diligence and successfully closing the transaction.’

  • ‘The people are the key differentiator for me. Being a smaller firm, that are more nimble and commercial. They are quick to respond. It helps that they include multiple senior people on deals and dovetail well.'

  • ‘Very practical and pragmatic approach. Understand and have finger on the pulse on what the current market precedent is.’

  • ‘We have mostly engaged with the TW M&A and property teams and both extremely helpful, responsive and commercial. The fact that the Irish team can bring in expertise from overseas offices where relevant has also been of assistance. We would have no hesitation in using the TW team again, and have indeed recommended them to contacts for other Irish transactions.’
