Accolades
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Deep knowledge, applied in a pragmatic way precisely when needed by the client.'
‘Matthew Poxon is a stand-out leader in his field. Able to navigate complex issues with common sense, prioritising the practical needs of the client as opposed to pursuing legal points for the sake of it.'
- 'Matthew Calvert is an exceptional senior associate. Committed to his client’s cause and always demonstrates an ability to balance commercial objectives with appropriate management of legal risk.'
‘What stood out with the team was their deep bench of technical expertise paired with a commercial mindset. In the M&A transactions we worked with PH, they demonstrated not only a command of the legal landscape but also an ability to tailor their advice to our business priorities and risk appetite.'
- 'Compared to other firms we’ve worked with, this team was more cohesive and efficient in their execution. They managed complex cross-border elements seamlessly, communicated clearly and promptly, and were always a step ahead in anticipating issues. Their strength lies not only in individual excellence but also in how well they function as a unit.'
- 'From a client perspective, the combination of strong technical lawyering with practical, business-aware advice is a key differentiator. Their collaborative approach—across internal teams and with us as the client—was constructive and solutions-oriented.'
