Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Andrew Dunn and Emily Higgins are trusted advocates, where nothing is too much trouble and detailed discussions are properly documented. Earnest consideration of a case leads to controlled decision-making regarding how to proceed, taking into account the costs likely to be incurred, with consideration of the eventual settlement basis.
- Candey is a leading disputes boutique with outstanding international arbitration lawyers. Known to handle some of the highest value arbitrations, including investor-state and UHNW individuals, Candey punches well above its weight in terms of the size and importance of instructions and the quality of its work product. Although it has grown significantly in recent years, its still relatively small size enables it to be far nimbler than larger competitors.
