Very satisfied with service
I have used Chris at Latham & Co twice now. Once concerning my divorce, some time ago, and more recently regarding an employment agreement. In both cases, I was very pleased with the advice and legal work that Chris performed for me. He fully and clearly explained the legal position, carefully went through all the legal papers and acted in a professional and friendly fashion. I would undoubtedly go back to him if a need for legal services arose in the future.

5***** would recommend 100%
Divorce isn’t the easiest thing to deal with no matter what the circumstances are and mine were quite unusual with many obstacles along the way. Chris was not only very professional and knowledgeable but his care and support helped give me the confidence to proceed and deal with everything and anything that was thrown at me - for that I cannot thank him enough. It was a very difficult time in my life but Chris and his team guided me through every step. He kept me fully informed and also answered any questions, queries or worries I had. Making me able to move forward and be confident in any decisions that were made. I would 100% recommend Chris and his team.
