RSM UK Legal LLP

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• 'What distinguishes the team is their ability to balance legal precision with business context, which is especially important in high-stakes issues like contract terminations. Their multidisciplinary structure—combining legal, HR, and financial expertise—creates a seamless experience when navigating complex settlements.'

• 'RSM offers highly responsive, solutions-oriented legal counsel with a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and regulatory compliance. The team demonstrates a deep understanding of UK employment law, including the nuances of director-level contracts and fiduciary duties.'
• 'They are especially strong in crafting settlement agreements that protect both reputational and financial interests. RSM’s ability to work collaboratively across departments (legal, financial, tax) also makes them a strategic advisor beyond just legal documentation.'
• 'Compared to other legal service providers, RSM brings the advantage of being embedded in a larger advisory network. This allows for a more holistic view of business challenges, which is often missing in purely legal firms. While some boutique firms may offer deep litigation expertise, RSM's strength lies in its integrated advisory model, speed of execution, and business-aligned legal strategies.'
• 'The practice makes good use of digital tools for document management and communications, streamlining the process for clients. Notably, billing was handled transparently and in a flexible manner, with clear estimates and options provided early on. Additionally, their emphasis on collaborative legal solutions—ensuring alignment with finance and tax teams—added significant value to our outcome.’

• 'Anna Burdett brought a calm, structured, and empathetic approach to a complex and sensitive matter. She communicated legal risks and options with clarity and without jargon, which was incredibly valuable for decision-making under pressure. We especially appreciated her responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to remain focused on both the legal and strategic outcomes. Anna’s guidance gave us confidence throughout the process and ensured we moved forward with both caution and clarity.'
