Professional referrals
Many of today’s clients have been referred to us by law firms who may not have the expertise or capacity to handle a particular instruction where we have the necessary specialism and other professionals seeking legal advice on behalf of their clients
We always respect the existing relationship of the professional introducing the client. We are ranked by both Chambers UK and Legal 500. Many of our partners are also individually ranked as experts in their field.
