Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘We have turned to Squire Patton Boggs for every mid-market transaction we have run in recent years because they give me City-quality execution with a full suite of experts. SPB offers the rare combination of international depth, price certainty, and a partner I trust to deliver – a blend that, in my view, few rivals in this bracket can match.’

  • ‘I keep going back to Tim Stead because he couples City-grade technical skill with a commercial instinct for what really progresses a deal. Tim's vast experience and exceptional availability mean I need only one contact to steer deals in any jurisdiction. He brings clarity and foresight to all negotiations, which helps us brief our own board with confidence. Most of all, Tim’s communication is solutions-first: advice lands in plain English my non-legal colleagues can act on, and where there are “Friday-night surprises” he is available and able to implement pragmatic solutions. In my view, he is a class above even his best-regarded competitors.’
