Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'My personal experience of Shoosmiths has been excellent. They have a can-do attitude which can be rare for the legal profession. They take the time to really understand the requirements, therefore not just using a prescribed matrix of services and have almost every discipline across the firm so you can be directed in house, thereby not needing to engage different specialists.'
- 'Sarah Teal is just a superb lawyer with an impressive reputation in the North West. She has built a reputation for being the leading lawyer in the field of restructuring plans in the mid-market with several notable engagements. No other restructuring lawyer in the North West mid-market can say the same.'
