‘I love how they communicate to me like they work with me, and not just cursory letters. We have open, honest and frequent conversations on matters, and those are very valuable. It’s nice to be able to pop in when driving past.’

‘I feel like Alexandra Collett  is advising me like she truly cares. Not just a client, I feel like someone who really matters. Sometimes in litigation, due to costs and other factors it can feel uncomfortable, but when communicated to (sometimes by Whatsapp at my request) you can feel settled.’

‘Emyr Kerfoot is a very able commercial litigator with a wide client base. Other members of the team include Alex Collett who has a first-rate understanding of commercial litigation. Both are result-orientated and their clients benefit greatly from this.’

‘Whilst the team is not a traditional firm structure they act as though they are. They are happy to assist whether the case is large or small and treat all work with a high level of professionalism and they work as a cohesive team.’

‘Emyr Kerfoot is extremely diligent, courteous and very knowledgeable in the sector with access to the right counsel for court work. Alex Collett is very on the ball and it is clear at meetings that she is fully prepared and efficient.’
