Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Richard Hartigan is the partner working across a handful of our matters, and we have been very impressed with his ability to translate complex legal concepts into easy-to-understand and meaningful advice that our stakeholders can use, as well as to combine his deep subject matter expertise with a commercial approach when negotiating and advising on our construction matters.
- We have been really impressed by the team's ability to apply their expertise through a lens of commerciality, rather than simply advising on the strict legal principles. We've also been really impressed by their direct collaboration with our business stakeholders and counterparties, deeply understanding our needs as a client and representing these internally and externally.
