- 'Philip Thomas provided legal advice that is pragmatic and appropriately aimed at the task at hand. Compared to other legal practices that we have worked with, the Reed Smith Team distinguishes itself by understanding the key requirements of a task quickly and by providing, in short periods of time, advice that we can understand and action. The team goes to great lengths to ensure that we not only receive their legal assistance when we need it, but also maintain and foster our business relationship in less busy times, staying across our developments so that they are equipped and up to date when the next legal task comes along. In terms of collaboration and technology, we should mention the excellent standard that Reed Smith are able to set for our offices when using remote working practices and having multiple time zones. The team has been able to coordinate meetings with us with ease.’
