What others say about us
The team impresses clients with its "excellent responsiveness and high levels of partner attention." Market sources also appreciate that the outfit has a number of highly specialised lawyers in a variety of other disciplines able to assist on corporate deals when needed. The team represents clients such as Toronto Stock Exchange-listed Constellation Software, NYSE-quoted GFI Group and the City of London Group. Sources say "their knowledge of the dynamics of deals means that we don't waste any time on explaining things unnecessarily."
Client Service: "They have worked long hours for us at the speed we wanted to go at. They are always at the end of the phone."
