Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘They listen very carefully to what you think you want to do. They guide gently when required. They are hugely respectful. Whilst having to have legal representation is painful, they have made me feel secure and guided all the way through.’
‘The team have been incredible and I feel totally supported and informed. They tell me when I am being too generous and not looking out for myself, and I am grateful that they are there. I simply could not ask for better and I have complete faith and trust in their advice.’
‘I worked with Richard Smith, Nilah Ulhaq, and Anna McCorquodale. I received an outstanding service from them. Richard is extremely knowledgeable, very accessible, and very pleasant and reassuring to work with. I had a strongly adversarial case, and Richard was excellent in exploring and understanding my case. He provided excellent advice on the range of options and on the best path towards a successful outcome.'
'Nilah Ulqah and Anna McCorquodale provided an excellent supporting service, taking on parts of the process that Richard assigned to them. Overall, I am very pleased to have worked with Richard and his team. Their work led to a result that makes mine and my family's lives much better, and we are very grateful for this.’
‘Richard Smith is an expert in his field who combines high technical competency with a caring and pragmatic approach. Response times are always quick and communications are always clear.'
