Other areas of our business – across Private Client, Real Estate and Corporate – continue their run of success in the new edition.
Legal 500 highlights a number of areas for particular praise, including:
Druces’ lawyers recognised by Legal 500 include:
Charles Avens ‘is very approachable and professional’;
Christopher Axford ‘the willingness to work collaboratively and to tight timescales sets the team apart – Christopher Axford in particular shows great commercial awareness and client focus.’
Nicholas Brent ‘breaks down complicated issues into easy to understand segments. He always finds a solution and does so with good humour.’
Adrian Footer is ‘a highly focused lawyer, who understands what our goals are and how to achieve them. He takes a no-nonsense approach with other solicitors, sets realistic expectations, makes a conscious effort to manage fees and – importantly – is readily accessible and easy to speak to.’
Helen Freely ‘is an excellent solicitor. She is always available, efficient, knowledgeable and wise in her dealings with me as a client‘;
Paul Levy – a rising star in this year’s edition is ‘very knowledgeable in all areas of private client law. Furthermore, Paul has always had a willingness to get things done with the minimum of fuss and without coming across as pushy at what is usually a difficult time for the client.’
Suzanne Middleton-Lindsley ‘is a superb lawyer, very approachable and very knowledgeable. A pleasure to work with.’
Dominic Traynor is ‘an exceptional legal adviser – his depth of experience in industry matters and general commerciality provides insight well beyond that expected of a legal adviser.’
Ben Lomer is ‘a very capable lawyer, offering pragmatic and commercial advice to clients.’
Caroline Cropley is ‘exactly what you’d hope a senior associate would be. She ‘owns’ the account, she knows what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and how to get it done.’
