"Brilliant, best M&A firm we used all year. They have great market knowledge and commercial awareness. They took the lead and navigated through the process themselves, which is unusual for law firms and amazing when it happens. This allowed us to sit back and relax with absolute faith. The lawyers managed themselves, took excellent decisions and were, in one word, perfect. They are extremely able, unlike many other law firms, to give excellent commercial advice and take charge of the whole project themselves. They have excellent market knowledge and are very able to push hard and get thing done. They also have abundant resources and are very flexible." (IFLR1000, 2017)
