  • 'Daniel Meagher was great at legal analysis, drafting, and it was great working with him due to his excellent coordination, quick turnaround, and professionalism.’

  • ‘Exceptional litigation practice! ’

  • ‘Ben Bruton is a stand-out partner. There is nothing he doesn't know about high-value, complex international litigation.’

  • ‘The uniqueness and strength of this practice continues to stem largely from Ben Bruton, the partner who advises us on litigation matters. Ben is quick to respond, professional while providing personalized service, always right, knowledgeable about the community (knowing both the personalities/past decisions/past claims of both the claimant, as well as the judges), and very capable and thoughtful when it comes to developing and making arguments.’

  • ‘Ben Bruton - as stated above, he is very considered in his opinions, and he communicates those very effectively/convincingly. He encourages the clients to be mindful of the various stages of a claim and possible results (and how each stage might develop and how to strategically bolster/react in each case/stage). To top this off, his responses are lightning-fast, and are warm, personable and personalized, while always remaining professional. Most importantly, the result he predicted at the beginning of any dispute has always proven correct over time - thus my comment above that his early evaluation of a situation is normally what comes to pass.’

  • ‘Ben Bruton is a very effective partner who achieves good solutions for his client. Daniel Meagher has a keen strategic sense of how to achieve success for his clients.’
