Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Ruthvik Rao (associate) brought exceptional attention to detail to our matter while being thoroughly personable and responsive.
- The case was led by Charlotte Heywood and Alice McDonnell, who have worked extremely well together as a team. In particular, I always felt that the internal coordination between them was seamless. Charlotte was always well-informed whenever Alice had led a workstream, and vice versa. This was particularly important during the final stages of the discussions with the other party, where they both came up with very pragmatic solutions to complex issues.
- A deep understanding of our sector meant that we felt we were in good hands throughout a challenging dispute.
