Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I've found Wiggin to be unique in that the majority of attorneys we've worked with have true in-house experience. Even more junior members of the team without prior experience outside the firm have been seconded in-house while at the firm. The insight that this provides is invaluable.'
‘Bethan Lloyd is whip smart and extremely efficient with her time. She has supported us as outside counsel for a couple of years, and her understanding of our products exceeds some internal resources. When bringing on new associates to our project this year, Bethan provided a bridge of knowledge.’
