Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Dan Tench is a superstar. He is extremely versatile. It's rare to touch on any area of law where he doesn't have in-depth knowledge. A real, valuable player. Dan's most eminent virtue is his extraordinary ability to produce the highest quality work at speed - in particular, he is the one lawyer I would rely on above all to be able to give me swift, full and decisive advice. Even fifteen minutes of his time can make all the difference.’
'There is a great depth of experience and expertise in the CMS team.'
