Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘This team was great at taking complicated concepts and translating them into easy-to-understand and follow advice and drafting. They were easy to deal with and reliable - they always delivered what we needed and what they said they would. No one was made to feel uncomfortable around unfamiliar IT concepts. Definitely a team to use for any IT project but especially for any business not familiar with IT projects and needing a safe pair of hands to guide them through it.’

  • ‘The recent work carried out for us was by Matt Harris. Matt led with confidence (and our confidence in him) and clear expertise and experience in the subject matter. His advice and drafting (and that of his team) was always clear and pragmatic.'
