Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘It is a personable and tight-knit team with a high standard of client care. Amongst the partners, there is a breadth of specialist knowledge. The trainees are pro-active. Legal secretaries keep you on top of document flow and provide clearly itemised billing so you know exactly what is happening. When you need to act quickly the resource is always available, which is important, since cases can go through peaks and troughs. ’
‘Lauren Mackenzie has consistently shown an ability to deliver advice that gets to the crux. She has the rare gift of being approachable yet methodical and measured in her output. Lauren has innovated a cross-functional approach tailored to my case, involving counsel, accountancy, property management and other areas - it has proved effective for devising a route through litigation that is practical, strategic, and comprehensive.’
‘Mr. John Wiblin, a partner in Longmores, has shown himself to have an excellent capacity for dealing with complex and potentially confusing aspects of the litigation he is dealing with for me. He grasps essential points quickly and is able to provide succinct advice and a plan of action without delay! He and all of his colleagues are always very approachable and capable of moving matters ahead. I would recommend him in commercial litigation matters without hesitation.’
‘I have been working with the dispute resolution team and have been particularly impressed by their honesty, clarity, and practical approach. ’
‘Nathanael Young is a force of nature. Nothing intimidates him and I would trust him to handle any dispute from the County Court to the Supreme Court and everything in between. He has the capability of a partner at a magic circle firm but provides it at a fraction of the cost.’
‘Longmore's solicitors have a great approach from the moment you contact them. They listen to you and will find the right solicitor to represent you if the need be within the firm. They provide a vison to the best outcome from your discussions and will try to provide an approximate cost for your consideration and try to keep costs to a minimum. The billing is also vey concise and precise.’
