Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Ben Carroll is a very sophisticated lawyer in the arbitration space - he has a deep knowledge of the institutions and is a very powerful thinker. His judgment is second to none.
- A super motivated team with a great work ethic and is very easy to deal with.
- Matthew Hodgson was our main contact. He is an outstanding lawyer. I’m not very familiar with this area, but someone told me he was one of the best of his generation, and I therefore instructed him. I am glad I did. He is a superb advocate as well as being commercially aware and tactically impressive.
