Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team is highly innovative, continually seeking the most effective means of achieving the stated objective, even when that objective may migrate through time.’
‘A great business with standout, long-established rainmakers, a body of excellent partners, and well-recruited and trained associates, who are given early responsibilities and development opportunities. They provide a first-rate, results-driven service, with a very diverse group of practitioners - an excellent all-round firm.’
‘Their focus is what is in the client's best interest rather than their billable hours. What enables them to be so innovative is their detailed understanding of the law, never hesitating to push the boundaries and challenge groupthink.’
‘Strong female leads in Sue Thackeray and Mary Young. Sue takes no prisoners and is a fighter, and Mary has first-rate knowledge of fraud law - a very talented litigation partner, who is incredibly thorough, committed to her clients (with whom she forms excellent relationships), and understands every nuance of her cases.’
’Sue Thackeray is one of the most effective lawyers around - she has knowledge, attention to detail, persistence and patience. She is simply outstanding.'
‘Sue Thackeray and Fiona Simpson are two star individuals with great experience and market reputation. They are both great.’
‘William Christopher is very well known in the commercial market - tough and smart, and a very successful litigator in both large litigation and more self-contained claims. He is an excellent lawyer.’
‘Laurence Clarke will no doubt join the partnership ranks soon. He is a very effective operator, quite capable of running cases on his own as he regularly does, and an astute and careful litigator.’
