Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘David Greenhalgh is an outstanding practitioner. Reassuring and engaging, he is nonetheless unafraid to ask the most direct penetrating questions to ensure that he gets to the nub of the issue. With a no-nonsense "sleeves rolled up" approach he provides advice that is jargon free and down to earth. Most importantly, he gives a clear opinion and does not sit on the fence in the way that so many others do. We would recommend him without hesitation. ’
