Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘A top quality firm. The construction team gets straight to the point and spells out the options in commercial language that lets us immediately grasp what's going on. They understand how to negotiate construction contracts in the appropriate timeframes and keep the other legal team moving.'

    ‘The whole team is top rate and every member has our full confidence. What really makes them stand apart is their team effort - we never have to repeat ourselves on matters involving more than one solicitor, which is really impressive when you consider how many cases the team work on and the level of detail often involved in construction cases.’

    ‘Immediate access to partner-level advice, a practice that cares and has provided me solid legal opinion for 2 decades now. A practice that remains loyal to individuals and takes time to maintain relationships.’

    ‘Stephen Homer is exceptional, provides solid and up-to-date legal opinion & advice and is always prepared to listen to you and consider different angles to resolve disputes. Frank and honest, also if your position is not strong.’

    ‘I worked with Lianne Edwards and her team on a few projects where we needed support for adjudication/litigation with contractors. Lianne's team has been brilliant in responding and advising.’

    ‘Lianne Edwards is great, quite personable, very experienced and easy for us to work with. Advice was always kept simple for the audience. Simply someone we can trust and rely on for construction matters.’

    ‘Great breadth and depth of knowledge within the team and good briefing between colleagues.'

    ‘Laura Reeve has been fantastic in her work with us. She has actively sought information, briefed colleagues, offered pragmatic advice, and most of all, Laura has been friendly, supportive and responsive at all times.’
