‘James Norris-Jones combines a forensic and unrelenting approach to a case, with probably the best customer engagement around.’
‘What stands out most for me about Clearys is the quality across the board. I do not recall working with anyone there who was not, at least, very competent. That said, a few names stand out: James Brady is a lovely man who is seriously intelligent, works hard and has a great feel for how a claim will play out in court. Naomi Tarawali is one of those people who is incredibly competent at everything she does. And really nice too! Rohan Mandumula is not very senior, but you'd never know. A future partner and star, I'm sure.’
‘Paul Stuart - fine balance of the commercial and the legal combined with strong negotiation skills and a strategic approach.’
‘James Norris-Jones is one of the finest litigators in London.’
‘James Norris-Jones for his calm and steady approach, balanced judgment, honest assessments, strategic oversight, team management, and management of outside counsel. In years past I have worked with Jonathan Kelly, who is stellar in providing practical advice in high stakes commercial disputes.'
