Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Great links between tax, real estate, commercial, construction, litigation and debt teams with partner oversight and communication.’
‘Proactive and thorough advice - Jacob Gilkes and Lauren Alder are particularly effective.’
‘I think that the tax partner I work with, Phil Anderson, makes the difference. He knows his stuff and he can disseminate his knowledge and advice on the matter in a way that is not too technical, and which can be followed.’
‘Phil Anderson understands the commercials of transactions and can explain the tax issues in a simple way that is easy to follow. Overall, Phil understands what I am after, he explains it clearly, he is engaged, and he is reachable when I need him.’
‘Henry Bolton and Jacob Gilkes are responsive and provide clear advice. They go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. ’
‘They have good technical knowledge and understanding, and their interaction with their corporate law team makes transactions more streamlined with less duplication. Speed of delivery has always met our expectations.’
