‘Knowledge of the practice area, strategic judgement and high quality drafting. Examples of stand-out partners include, in my opinion, Shalina Crossley and Sarah McWhinney.’
‘Colin Leckey is my go to. Super smart, approachable, client focussed.’
‘Great people to work with - both first class knowledge and down to earth and practical in their approach. They are really good at having their ears to the ground of what is in the pipeline with Employment law - if changes are mooted they know about it and if changes are coming they will have already put together an action plan on what clients need to do and by when. Their Rockhopper service is great for low-cost, lower value business-as-usual type Tribunal claims, in particular. ’
