‘Lisa Barge and her team go above and beyond to ensure their advice is delivered in a commercial and implementable way for complex matters.’

‚The Eversheds practice are more competent and provide a more consistent client service than other competitors who we have worked with. I consider this is due to the close supervision and support exercised by the partners in the team, particularly Lisa Barge who makes it her business to check in on even more minor matters the firm is working on for us.’

‘Lisa Barge is well known in the property litigation field and, as mentioned above, keeps a close eye on matters both large and small. Arren Thornton is also another notable lawyer in their team who we have worked with closely. Both are responsive, highly experienced and easy to deal with.’

‘Alicia Foo – diligent, cuts through issues with laser focus and always delivers no matter how difficult the challenge.’

‘Pinsent Masons are one of the top firms for property litigation.’

‘I have worked most with James Fownes and Pia Eames, on a number of complex cases. They are both excellent, and easily comparable with other top property litigation teams. The team has good working relationships internally, which seems to me central to good litigation. You need a team which communicates and supports well within itself so that each member can perform well.’

‘James Fownes is an excellent partner. In part it is because he really likes property law and the property law points that come up in the cases. Pia has a really determination which helps when trying to root out the key pieces of evidence which will make a case succeed. She is too very good at client handling.’

‘For me, Shakespeare’s has always maintained a great team of people always ready to act and it’s been a pleasure to have that level of consistency even when someone moves on either by retirement or career opportunity.‘

‚I found Kirsten Bridgewater had all the qualities one would wish for in a good property litigation specialist. She is a shrewd operator with an incisive mind and is extremely determined. Kirsten has excellent communication skills so I understood and felt fully involved in the case. During stressful situations, Kirsten always remained calm and clear-headed. She has a very analytical min,d and her arguments were backed up with effective research. She is also very personable with good people skills and is a genuinely kind and caring person, which is important when a case involves sensitive issues. Kirsten is very professional and someone who instills great confidence.‘

‘This is the first time we have used the Squire Patton Boggs property litigation team – and also our first experience of managing a lease renewal – and we were grateful for the proactive support that they gave us. The SPB team is knowledgeable and gave clear, timely and practical advice as they walked us through the process – and their comprehensive management took pressure off our team and meant we had to spend minimal time on the matter ourselves.’

‘Throughout the process, they were very responsive and gave clarification and guidance on key points of law and different options to be taken at each stage. We were guided through appropriately, given our landlord and their negotiation team were very frustrating in terms of ability to make a decision and correspond in a reasonable time frame, the team at Squires helped progress the case to conclusion.’

‘Knowledgeable, detailed, concise advice notes, and professionalism.‘

‘Every time we have been in contact, there is always a personable touch as well as being professional. We have always felt confident with our dealings, especially when we had to attend court. I can vouch for Band Hatton in every possible way over these years to be a very professional company who has handled our case in a friendly, personable manner at all times and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.‘

‘The individuals that stand out in a company are the ones that you feel are there for you on a personal level not only in a commercial capacity. We feel strongly that at Band Hatton Button this was very much the case. We have never had to ask for assistance from solicitors or barristers or to attend court and give evidence, before our case which to the majority of people can be very daunting and stressful. It was all of those emotions, but looking back, I am glad that we choose Band Hatton Button, who made the process more agreeable. Special mention goes to Katie Stanton who is all of the above and more.‘

‘Ellie Crofts is no-nonsense and knowledgeable.’

‚Personal service is something we have received at all times from various teams at Wilkes. Whilst we mainly use the litigation service from time to time we also require advice in other aspects of law. The litigation team we work with are always up to speed with the cases we are involved with and communicate well with us, giving us clear advice.‘
