Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Arthur Cox has assisted our business with a number of items this year - acquisitions we've made in Northern Ireland and Scotland, corporate finance discussions and property transactions. In my opinion, the team has a unique combination of understanding the intricacies of the Northern Irish system but they also have strong experience in international/larger deals. I haven't found another firm that can offer this balance; I have particularly valued their experience in advising on PE investment and M&A.’
‘I regularly work with Lynsey Mallon and David White. They both have a good understanding of what our business is trying to achieve and have the ability to apply their experience and skills in a practical way. As a family-owned business, I also value their integrity in putting our interests above their own. ’
