‘I found the practice to be extremely professional. It certainly lives up to its reputation. Clearly it is more expensive than local firms but the service, experience and response you get cannot be faulted. The differentiator for me were my contacts - the partners who I worked with were both highly skilled but also sensitive to the issues which were overwhelming at times.’
‘Claire Christy was my key partner. She is detail orientated, and highly skilled in clarifying the route through sone complex issues. In addition to her competency, she is also uniquely thoughtful, sensitive, and totally dedicated to supporting me in whatever way required. I feel very grateful to have found her - she has helped me through an incredibly difficult time.’
‘Very efficient in dealing with all aspects of legal issues. Easy access to different specialists if needed.’
