Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The chambers is an IP powerhouse with an excellent clerking team. Nick Hill is first rate, junior clerk Georgia Onyett is learning the ropes well and Zena Robbins on reception is a warm and welcoming presence for all clients.'
- 'The clerks are generally just a pleasure to deal with. We get fantastic service from all of the clerks but I have been very impressed with Owen Beedle this year. He has handled a complex matter for me with great professionalism and skill and always with good humour. Nick Hill is always fantastic to deal with and I appreciate his input and guidance on advocate options and listings.'
- 'The clerks are fantastic, in particular Nick Hill, who is the best clerk in town. He is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and available. He will go out of his way to ensure that you are looked after, will push for the best position in listing and other court matters whilst always being extremely professional and friendly. I cannot think of a better clerks’ room in IP specialist chambers.'
- 'Nick Hill was always very easy to interact with and friendly. Interactions with Nick were always friendlier and smoother than other interactions with the clerks.'
- 'Very good service from the clerks, especially Nick Hill, who is a very experienced clerk and ensures his barristers have sufficient time in their diaries for patent dispute work.'
- 'Nick Hill is a standout clerk.'
- 'Nick Hill and Tim Fairburn are both great to work with.'
- 'Very responsive clerks who are polite and professional. We were dealing with Tim Fairburn for the majority of the big trademark opposition, and he was always helpful and gave accurate fee estimates.'
