‘A slick and impressive team.’
‘Clare Harris - a true professional.’
‘The team is responsive from the initial enquiry through to completion and billing. The fee earner is made known to the client from the start and will ensure that they are the principal contact for the matter and takes full responsibility for engagement delivery. If there is an area outside their expertise they will acknowledge and revert with the answer / conversation with an appropriate colleague.'
