Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• Claire Gregory is an exceptional lawyer. She has guided the businesses I have worked for through some extremely challenging and complex situations, achieving results on each occasion far beyond what could have been reasonably expected. She is an expert in her field and always has total command of the situation, being able to bring together disparate opinions and personalities, achieving focus on a common purpose. Claire is extremely intelligent, dedicated, and inspires absolute confidence. Whatever the issue, I would always seek to have her in our corner.
• Practical, clear, and timely advice is provided in alignment with the required brief.
• Claire Gregory is strategic, pragmatic, and highly skilled in chemicals regulation. She advised on a de-risking exercise using a sophisticated, evidence-backed approach. The result was a safe outcome that will survive regulatory scrutiny.
• A highly effective and approachable team with a good range of subject matter experts.
• Claire Gregory in the Environment Team is fantastic. Pragmatic, able to explain complex law in simple terms, and very hands-on in the advice she provides.
• Hayley Gore: my go-to lawyer, especially when I have an urgent new reference. Michelle Moss: excellent depth of knowledge of the project. Helen Miller: a safe pair of hands.
• Excellent sector (rail) and practice area (compulsory purchase and compensation) knowledge.
• Michelle Moss is outstanding in her work in that she is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, but also approachable and will always discuss any issues when required. Michelle's attention to detail, focus, and organization ensured that the most favorable outcomes on cases were obtained. The other members of the team that I worked with during the period include Hayley Gore and Helen Miller. Both were fantastic on the cases that they dealt with, offering accurate and timely advice to ensure optimal outcomes were obtained. Furthermore, both ensured deadlines were met and were brilliant in engaging with subject matter experts (and assisted them greatly so that they worked collaboratively as part of the teams and knew their roles, responsibilities, and deadlines for the submission of evidence).
• The strength of the team is the unity with which they operate. Michelle Moss was the partner in charge of the instructions that were provided, but she worked collaboratively with the associates. Furthermore, the team makes things very easy from a client's perspective, being exceptionally well organised. The team is very insightful and their knowledge of process, procedure, and case law is second to none on compulsory and compensation matters.
• Hayley Gore is a diligent and practical lawyer who always delivers excellent service. She is thorough and very well experienced.
