Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• 'The team at AG was very approachable and clearly very experienced.'
• 'Clients are impressed at how they were set up to support small and nascent business alongside much larger corporate partners.'
• 'Zoe Connor is clearly somebody who knows her market inside out. This is reflected by the regard she is held in by other sector stakeholders.'
• 'Julia consistently demonstrates a great mix of expertise and pragmatism, instilling confidence in clients.'

• ‘The team has come on a long way, and now has good depth and some excellent juniors. At their price point, their ability to work on complex deals is one of the best I've seen. We find they always have time for us, and they communicate proactively when they have other commitments. AG has put in time understanding our business and our needs. They have built a competitive moat to other firms because they "get" us. Genuine engagement and listening to the needs of our business is sadly a rarity, but we get that with AG.’

• ‘Olga Friedmann has been our "relationship partner" long before she was promoted to the partnership. She is smart, commercial and pragmatic in her advice. We rarely see her run up unjustified costs. She listens well, backs her clients. For those reasons, Olga is highly recommended.’

• ‘The team is very approachable and keen to understand us as a business. They are thoughtful in explaining the real impacts of their legal advice and are continually trying to anticipate issues. They manage transactions well both in terms of relationship management and deal timings.’

• ‘Carl Posern and Olga Friedmann are valued for their ability to break down complex issues and present practical solutions. They always demonstrate a 'whole of market' view and understand complexities and business sensitivities. No ask is too small and they are very willing to spend as much time as is needed on any issues. They are thoughtful, timely and engaged at all times and a pleasure to work with.’

• ‘Taymour Keen is one of the best lawyers I've worked with. He is an excellent lawyer whilst also being a lovely person and I really enjoy working with him. He really wants to know our business and actively takes steps to understand it, so that he can best tailor advice which makes transactions so much easier to manage for us as the client.’

• ‘The team is great to work with - everyone is personable and I enjoy working with everyone I've met. Their attention to detail and responsiveness is excellent. They also try to stick to agreed fees where possible, whilst delivering a great client service.’
