Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Natalie Drew is a standout practitioner. She is incredibly skilled from a technical perspective, but what sets her apart is the manner in which she applies that skill. She is pragmatic and solution-focused, always keeping the wider picture firmly in view.
- Natalie Drew, partner and head of the team, is extremely pragmatic and always open to picking up the phone. A delight to work with. Equally, Nick Cooper-Soderberg is great to have on the other side. He thinks deeply about his cases and tries to see the options from all angles. He is collaborative and always constructive. Abigail Whelan is also fast developing her reputation as being an excellent lawyer.
- Nick Cooper-Soderberg: incisive mind, empathetic with clients, pragmatic, pleasant to deal with.
- Great firm with a strong reputation.
- Their perception, expertise, and understanding of their clients' often complex problems and anxieties mean that their responsiveness, as well as lateral thinking (something many lawyers do not do), is exemplary. The person who stands out for me is Natalie Drew, who I think is often truly extraordinary in the patient and expert support that she provides to even the most (at times unreasonably) demanding clients. The whole team benefits and learns from her example, which in turn means that the team approach is cohesive.
- The team, particularly the Team Partner, Natalie Drew, combines sophisticated and detailed legal experience with empathy and personal perception, which is, in my view, an increasingly rare and important combination for stressed and fearful clients in these days of pressure to deliver management targets. They remain refreshingly human and accessible.
