Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Daniel Parker is beyond his years - his temperament, game-theory/strategy and excellent attention to detail stands out. He welcomes a challenge and responsibility set on him. Notably, the way he articulates himself to the client and via correspondence to the other party (and/or their lawyers) instils a sense of confidence and purpose which make it a relatively more comfortable experience for their client and more challenging for the other party to contend with.’

  • ‘Very client first approach to engagement. Will go above and beyond to achieve the best and offered helpful insight to how the other side might be thinking to remove emotion and obtain a balanced and fair outcome.’

  • ‘Joe Beeston’s dedication to getting things over the line was superior and his ability to engage with counterparties made the negotiation seamless and ended up in a well balanced and equitable answer.’
