Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Very commercially minded in their approach. Having worked with the team for nearly 3 years, they know the way we think as a business and if they need instruction from us, will offer a solution.’

  • ‘The team is very approachable, immediately reactive, and very thorough. It's big enough to treat crucial matters, small enough to provide a bespoke service.’

  • ‘Sarah Walker and her associate Matthew Williams are just perfect. Sarah has everything needed in a partner (expertise, precision, planning and organisation), and Matthew orchestrates it with great thoroughness. Sarah knows exactly what she's doing without being at all unapproachable or complacent. A great team.’

  • ‘A close-knit group with a diverse range of experience within the real estate sector.’

  • ‘The team are pragmatic and avoids getting dragged into a legal 'competition' with their counterpart. They focus on the commercial terms and find an equitable conclusion.’

  • 'We work closely with Gareth Wynne, who I would highly recommend. Practical and relaxed yet businesslike and gets the job done.'
