Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team is knowledgeable and down to earth. Rather than sit in their ivory tower, they walk the journey with us. They have a huge corporate memory and apply their knowledge in a proactive, practical manner. Innovations include looking ahead at projects and suggesting introductory briefings that bring together topics such as rural and agricultural law so we can see a project from the other side.’
‘John Townsend (partner): depth of knowledge, always looking to collaborate and happy to bring in colleagues from other teams. He sees the client as an asset of the Firm, not an individual "secret". Colin Robertson: calmness and experience.'
‘Extremely knowledgeable team with in depth experience, particularly within offshore wind.'
‘Deep expertise in the offshore wind industry, focusing on niche elements of the commercial agreements needed to develop and build an offshore wind farm. They manage to link the niche elements with broader legal considerations from other teams in the firm to provide a balanced view on the legal issue at hand. Very clear approach with the Partners, who support as much as possible with external stakeholder management and negotiations.'
‘Highly knowledgeable Partner - Susan Swan- who has a prolific understanding of the renewable energy space, especially across crossing agreements with O&G and OFTO counterparts, as well a OFTO divestments. This is showcased in excellent problem solving and negotiation support with difficult stakeholder, where a position acceptable for us has been reached at all times, when she has been involved.'
