Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The advice and support we received was extremely practical and constructive. We had the benefit of Russell Cooke's experience of previous similar projects, but they also were able to exercise good judgement on where our specific circumstances justified a different approach.'
‘We valued the pragmatic approach and eye for detail, especially on issues where it was important to take account of the regulator's perspective.’
