‘Responsive and knowledgeable.'
‘Tatiana Volodina and Daniel Marston have been very response and knowledgeable, supporting and able to find time to support even at short notice.’
'Working with this team has been a consistently professional experience. They have a good understanding of the issues we face and are able to offer advice that’s both technically sound and practical for our day-to-day needs.'
'We’ve found the team to be dependable and clear in their communication. They don’t overcomplicate things, and they take the time to understand our objectives, which helps make their advice more relevant. In particular: They have a good grasp of the legal and regulatory landscape, and they’re able to bring in the right people when a matter needs a broader view.'
'Their advice is usually focused on what’s workable, not just what’s technically correct, which we find helpful. Compared to other firms we’ve worked with, this team tends to be a bit more accessible and pragmatic. They’re not overly formal, and they’re generally willing to adapt to the way we like to operate.'
