Testimonials

- The individual who stands out is David Gwillim, who led our matter. You deal with him directly rather than through layers of associates, and he is responsive when it counts. The qualities we have valued most are clarity, judgment, and attentiveness. He explains complex legal and procedural questions clearly and without unnecessary jargon, so you understand not only what is advised but why. He weighs the arguments on both sides honestly, setting out the real merits and risks rather than telling a client what they might want to hear, which makes his advice something you can plan around. And he listens, taking the time to understand the commercial objectives behind the dispute and shaping his approach accordingly. He is well supported by Sneha Harrison, his senior associate, who has been diligent, timely, and accurate throughout, and who has contributed sound input of her own drawing on her own experience rather than simply executing instructions. The two work as a genuine team, which gives a client real confidence on a long-running matter.
