‘Easy to work with, they take time to understand our issues and their advice is excellent.’
‘Paul Hill and his team are excellent at working as part of a wider advisory team; there is no "us" and "you", Paul and his team pick up seamlessly just at the point they are needed.'
'Various of the team have deep sectoral expertise in areas of law where large City firms can't reach; their ability to be "gamekeeper turned poacher" is extremely helpful to clients seeking to understand how local authorities might approach a problem, for example.’
