Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Catherine Taylor is very knowledgeable and approachable.’
‘This team stands out for us for two main reasons: value for money and sound commercial guidance. These are areas in which law firms fail so often because they cannot see beyond the time recorded on a time sheet and can't see the commercial wood for the legal trees. Invoicing and bills is a two-way discussion with CMS whilst their advice is outcomes-focused and weighted towards finding the best outcome for the business.’
‘Richard Brown is simply excellent! Knows his stuff and great to work with.’
'Practical expertise and guidance with a very human touch. Delivered speedily and with good humour and grace.'
'Responsive and practical in their advice and guidance, with a good sense of commerciality.'
