Partner
High standards, good, transparent communication between team members, excellent understanding of the issues, plus a can-do attitude. Part of the firm’s culture is an awareness of cost, and the farming out of work to the most reasonably-priced resource.
Huge effort, attention to detail and great concern for their clients.
They provide carefully considered support and guidance, adding value at every stage of the process. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
They are genuinely concerned with their clients' interests - they seek to reach satisfactory resolutions before the matter comes to court.
"Effective litigator" Jessica Welch.
Good on details and at picking holes in arguments to work out if we have the best line of defence.
