James has been incredibly helpful and flexible with a recent review of a complex framework agreement that was required with a very fast turnaround. Not only was James very clear, open and understanding about our commercial objectives, but helped us understand the nuances of legal phrasing and the associated risks for consideration. With calls and discussions that often ran late into the evening, we were very happy with the final outcome, which was successful for our team. We highly recommend, and hope to work with James again soon.

Such a positive experience throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble for the partner & her staff dealing with the sale/conveyancing of my residential property. Great communication coupled to speedy responses kept me fully informed at all times. The service I received throughout was to the highest standard - faultless - exceptional in every respect.
Highly recommended for efficiency, friendliness & value for money. Thank you!

What a fantastic firm. All round superb service and particular thanks to our incredibly impressive litigation lawyer, Daniel Smith. We were in a very nasty property dispute (that had gone on for 3 months), feeling bullied, desperate and hopeless. One week and three emails from Daniel later, we are free and receiving the money we are owed back. Hurrah and thank goodness for lawyers like this!
