Testimonials

‘A personal touch and real consideration /care for the clients and sensitive matters dealt with in a very kind and discrete manner.’
‘Andrew Yule possesses deep knowledge and a calmness through very testing material and matters.’
'Andrea London is a standout partner. I’ve worked with her for years and have followed her when she’s moved firms, which says a lot. She’s incredibly smart, responsive, and combines legal precision with a very practical, commercial mindset. What sets her apart is her ability to cut through complexity quickly and focus on what really matters for the business. She’s fast, clear, and never loses sight of the bigger picture — rare qualities that distinguish her from many of her peers. I’ve particularly valued her judgement, her efficiency, and her calm authority, even in high-pressure situations. That combination of intellectual sharpness, commercial awareness, and client focus is what makes her — and the team around her — consistently excellent.'
'The standout person for us by far is Louise Lawrence, not just as a professional but also because she truly cares about her clients and demonstrates this in so many ways that make you feel valued and demonstrates how she works in partnership.'
