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.
