‘Elizabeth Ruff has brilliant communication.'
‘The Fox Williams team were fantastic. Very engaging, proactive, collaborative and experienced. They were particularly good at explaining complex issues and making them more digestible, and then providing high-quality advice as to actions and decisions.’
‘Elizabeth Ruff was the leading Partner. She was very visible, personally driving the negotiations and advice, rather than delegating a lot of the work required to her juniors. This made the process quicker, probably better value, and much more user-friendly.’
‘The team of Elizabeth Ruff and Dominic Moroz were responsive, flexible and pragmatic in dealing with our tight timeline and, at times, awkward potential landlord. They utilised their understanding of partnerships to ensure that we got the right terms agreed to deal with our structure.’
‘Provide a professional and personal approach. Making details easy to understand and providing clear advice.’
‘Advice is available, and contacts are willing to help at all times. There is a variety of expertise, and wide but defined advice is available when required. Easy use and providing beneficial advice by agreement, helping with all aspects.’
