Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Lee & Thompson has deep sector knowledge and experience which can be called upon when necessary, but it still manages to feel like a small and friendly firm. In addition, because the team deal with both clearance issues and disputes, they understand both pre- and post-publication reputation management issues.’
‘Mike Brookes is unflappable and as a result of his broad claimant and defendant experience, he has pretty much seen it all. The next generation of Associates, Lucy Pether and Rebecca Bennis, show great promise.’
