  • ‘Hawkins Hatton is among only a few specialist corporate law practices in the West Midlands, and overall, I would rate them one of the best.'

  • ‘I have known Colin Rodrigues for over 20 years. He stands out among corporate lawyers I work with, or have worked with, as an excellent all round corporate lawyer, whose focus on excellent client service, professional yet practical advice, getting the deal done whilst not compromising the legal advice or protection for his clients, and overall excellent transparency about his fees, which are very reasonable as compared to his competition, all combine to make him top of the list of corporate lawyers that I recommend when asked to do.’
