- ‘Tristan Dollie is an outstanding, go-to adviser. He is as commercial as he is technically excellent and manages complex mandates, opposing counsel, and large teams of local advisers with ease. He is an absolute asset to the firm.'
- 'Tuvi Keinan's position across multiple practices at BR makes him invaluable for complex acquisitions, debt or equity structuring, and financings globally. His background enables him to offer perspectives and solutions that other counsel cannot; he regularly turns a situation from "this is impossible" to "why don't we do it this way?".’
