Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The practice has a pragmatic approach as it actually provides advice and solutions. Other firms provide options without actually advising what to do.'
- 'James Blackie provides guidance and solutions and has an extensive industry contact base which allows him to pragmatically achieve results. He is happy to call counter parties to make things happen rather than a tit for tat email battle that many others in the industry prefer to engage in.'
