Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘My experience with Walker Morris is unique due to the following: (1) A partner led service is provided, where they are involved in a "hands on" style in the day-to-day delivery of work; (2) Their expertise considers both legal and practical/commercial standpoints, which adds significant value to considering their advice; (3) Their advice provided is backed up by them being able to illustrate how things work in practice and able to talk through any steps required in a clear manner.’

  • 'Nicola Parkinson who has provided us with Corporate Tax advice was exceptional in providing advice and following through with examples/how to action the advice provided. Furthermore, Nicola was very confident in explaining where certain tax matters were relatively standard considerations versus more complex and again able to talk through and articulate the options that we could consider.'
