  • ‘DMH are a trusted business partner with our long-standing relationship built on consistently high client servicing. If Simon can't respond, someone from the team will acknowledge me and either advise or let me know when Simon Bellm will respond. This might sound quite simplistic, but it is a very important service element that many overlook in the current climate. I have confidence in the advice that DMH will provide. For example, Simon has told me in the past, this isn't my area of specialism, my colleague can help you. The colleague then contacts me.’

  • ‘Simon Bellm and Greg Burgess are both very intelligent but have a way of explaining complex matters in a way that doesn't make you feel foolish. Both understand the commercial realities of our business which covers employment law/maritime law and provide pragmatic solutions.’

  • 'Good at building the case strategy and then taking a cost-effective approach to supporting that strategy.'
