Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Senior partner coverage at all stages of commercial property transactions. Administratively streamlined and efficient. Strengths in leasing and capital transactions, and litigation.’

  • ‘Alex Heaton and Chris Hill are very client-focused and always available to provide informal advice. Clarity of thinking and explaining complex legal matters. Pragmatic rather than dogmatic, and flexible in their approach and advice without compromising the client's position.’

  • ‘Our work is not delegated but is dealt with by the same partner who now knows his client and our buildings inside out.’

  • ‘Quick to respond, clear and succinct advice and appreciates the commercial realities behind decisions on legal issues that might arise.’

  • ‘Having used them for many years, have always found them quick to respond. Competent and knowledgeable, and essentially diligent on the details. They are also, in my view, good value.’

  • ‘Responsive. Articulate. Precise. James Daglish is my go-to on anything legal, and if it’s not his area, he passes it on to a colleague who has now shown similar traits.’

  • 'The Commercial property lawyers are very responsive to requests and efficient in dealing with queries at short notice. They work with the counterpart lawyers to agree the fine detail but always revert back to us for final sign off.'

  • 'They operate on a pragmatic basis but always aim to achieve the best for their clients. They drive the process to completion in a timely manner. They are always very personable and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to another client.'

  • 'Dan is always very happy to explain complicated issues to me and despite the Landlord being difficult to deal with he managed to achieve the required end for us in a timely manner.'
