Excellence via Balanced Advice
Speaking with a customer recently, they shared the pain they experience navigating their internal counsel and all of the pitfalls that can associated with a problematic or non-collaborative legal adviser. After working with Iain for many years, I am delighted to say that experiences like this are but tiny specs in the rear view mirror of the past. Iain has always managed that wonderful balance of advice that protects your own interests, whilst helping formulate strategies that allow you to actually go back to the other party with solutions so that a final contract can be agreed without the need for a muskets at dawn resolution.

A veritable database of information on trade marks
Iain looks after our extensive trade mark portfolio, which spans a number of countries across the world. And no matter which country we ask about, or what question we ask, Iain always provides an answer promptly, and in a clear language that we can understand. Couldn't ask for better.

One of the best qualities of Iain is his patience and ability to explain in plain simple terms and not use legal jargon where not needed. This is helped by his timely responses and friendly approach always. Would recommend, without question.

Best commercial solicitor practice I have used
Iain's knowledge of legal & commercial frameworks is unrivalled and as a company owner I have used a number of legal practices in the past. Expect open, honest and pragmatic advice that help facilitate a deal. Iain also excels in strategic thought leadership, mapping out variables and possible scenarios to aid decision making.
