Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Very good strength in depth, as well as being great people to deal with.’
‘The team are very responsive and access to the partner is always exceptional. This year we used S&B less than in previous years, but are always treated as a valued client. We have a lot of faith in the team and with a busier 2025 planned, we expect to utilise their expertise to a greater degree this coming year.’
‘Alex Watt makes himself available and gives us clear and commercial advice. Where the matter is outside his area of expertise, he has trusted colleagues to call on, and we have always found them to be knowledgeable.’
‘Great partner availability and legal expertise, turn work around quickly and keep you updated. ’
‘Ian Craig - always available and communicative. Great legal knowledge and deal management. Unflappable.'
