Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• Peter Clyde - outstanding
• Very capable and knowledgeable in the highly technical field of PPP contracts.
• The AG team has a wealth of construction practice knowledge, skills, and experience. They have the capacity, due to our workload, to maintain key persons in key positions, providing continuity not only to us but to all the relevant parties and consultants involved. This enables us to adopt standard documents and saves time in negotiation where similar points of contention are often well-practiced for response. No matter which new area or topic of construction law we come across in our many transactions and developments, I know I will have an expert to rely on at AG.
• Vivien (Viv) Welsh really stood out as supportive and dedicated; I found her to be helpful, kind, approachable, personable, and highly knowledgeable. She listens carefully and then clearly feeds back the legal implications. Viv adds a personal touch and often responds directly herself, or else delegates actions promptly. She clearly takes great pride in her work and was often working late to ensure all aspects of the case were fully in order. I genuinely enjoyed working with her and was (almost) sad when the case finished and we no longer had reason to speak. If I needed her skill set again in the future, I would not hesitate to work with her.
• The team was responsive, efficient, and personable. They made us feel like an important part of the process. They struck a balance between making us feel listened to and pushing us for our best input.
• Anne Struckmeier is an excellent lawyer with a very strong reputation in the market. She has a wealth of experience in the biggest and most complex cases. Her understanding and analysis of risk is impeccable. She has superb technical skills. In every respect, she is a force to be reckoned with.
• Viv Welsh - an experienced legal director who provides strategic advice and a great measure of strength in arguments. Anne Struckmeier - a partner who is always available and quickly grasps matters. She understands the commercial constraints of the client and where the team can add real value.
• The team is really easy to work with and provides strategic, commercial advice.
• Thinking ahead about how the counterparty may respond, the ability to meet deadlines and breadth of experience allow confidence in solutions and pragmatic approaches.
• Viv Welsh stands out because of her significant experience in construction disputes, which she is able to apply by thinking ahead to how the counterparty may respond in a pragmatic manner.
