Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Excellent team of people with a depth of knowledge in all areas. Respond very quickly to queries, and if work is expected to take time, the team will come back with expected timescales. The team works well together to ensure queries are picked up. Advice is pragmatic.’

  • ‘Pinsents are simply the best legal team I have ever worked with. Many advisers look to work alongside their clients, and this can work very well, but Pinsents work as part of the team. At the beginning, they took the time to know and understand our scheme, our business, and the different Trustees involved, and have worked with us through a variety of projects and initiatives. The overall effect of this is that their advice and knowledge are embedded in all that we do.’
