Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Strong service levels and engagement across the team and the best in the industry in terms of expertise in their chosen field.
- Experts, response times, practical support, and the ability to make the complex simple.
- There is exceptional knowledge within the team, not just on legal matters, but also on the practical implications of the terms within the documentation. As a result, I am confident that they are providing advice that is both legally sound and commercially considered. The specialist lending space is very different from the clearing bank and challenger bank space, and having a firm that understands the nuances and market norms is very helpful.
- Matt Pentecost and Elizabeth Thompson-Hall have unrivaled knowledge of the bridging and specialist lending market. They are able to provide commercial advice and reference solutions to issues they have seen work previously. We therefore felt one step ahead of the securitisation bank in negotiations.
- A great team. Always responsive and has good coverage of the market.
