Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The key difference that I have found working with Cripps compared with other practices is their business-focused advice. When we contact them they already know our business well, build on this with understanding the context of the specific query then provide a recommended approach that is both commercial and legally sound, not just a list of considerations or generic advice. This approach seems to run through anyone that we speak to there.’
‘Camilla Beamish is absolutely excellent: she is very responsive, demonstrates an excellent understanding of our business context and provides clear, business-focused advice on the actions we should take after explaining any considerations and why she is recommending that approach. In short, she is highly professional, commercial and a pleasure to work with.’
