- 'The clerks were all especially helpful. Especially Lee Tyler and Joel Banks with whom we worked very closely. They were extremely patient with us specifically as the client took a while to provide instructions. They were also very flexible in relation to the payment terms and offered a variety of solutions for us.'
- 'The set as a whole was very accommodating and easy to work with. No issues on availability. We have worked with other barristers from the same set and the firm and the clients were very happy.'
