'John Gilbert is excellent, detail-driven, softly spoken but quietly assured. Massively underrated in my opinion.'
'The whole London office is energy-focused and, as a result, the arbitrators are very close to the corporate and finance teams. They are therefore very good at involving a broader team of experts than you might initially expect. It works very well.'
