Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

The depth and breadth of the team are impressive. They are highly responsive and always provide pragmatic advice.
Simon Dinning is a brilliant individual and someone who I have known for nearly 15 years. Simon always makes himself available and has great commercial acumen. As a business owner and legal adviser, Simon has a rare talent for understanding the problem like a businessman but being able to navigate the legal challenges to find solutions that work for clients.
The team is without a doubt one of the leading teams in Jersey. They are efficient, technically very good, and consistently deliver the highest standards of advice to clients.
Simon Dinning is our go-to partner. He is bright, technically excellent, and focused on pragmatic advice. He also cares about his team. That is a feature that you can only appreciate after working with a team for a while, but it is fantastic to see. Juniors and seniors respect him enormously. There is little he has not seen. Despite over 25 years in practice, he is open to new tech solutions, which is unusual. He also manages to maintain a friendly approach with clients and those on the other side of a deal, even when the going gets tough. A lead managing associate in the team is Alex Fisher. A super lawyer. Hardworking and precise. Danielle Newton is a junior in the team. She too is superb.
Richard Daggett and Alex Fisher have always found a solution to the most thorny legal conundrums that I have thrown at them.
The quality of advice and the efficiency of delivery are top-notch.
