Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
'I never have any hesitation recommending Chris Harvey and his team to our investors and lenders when the opportunity arises.'
'The wider team at MB are highly capable, organised, and responsive, which makes a massive difference to us as a smaller organisation, especially with business plan execution. The firm is big enough to have the resources we need to cover all disciplines, but the service is still tailored to our requirements.’
‘Chris Harvey is a talented lawyer, but importantly, he is also highly commercial in his advice, which is invaluable to us in assessing deals and pricing risk/reward.'
