They take a sensible pragmatic approach to a contentious situation. Their legal analysis of the issue is good and they provide a number of options to me as the client as to how to move forward.
Highly experienced operators with the ability to think outside the box.
They demonstrate commercial and industry knowledge while being a fast and effective team.
The team is responsive, only requiring short notice when crises arise. They are technical experts and knowledgeable, but also commercial and pragmatic, as well as personable and easy to work with.
Collaborative, pragmatic, and good people to deal with.
The two individuals I dealt with at Simkins were exceptional. They had specific industry knowledge and skills and were prepared to work cross-border. Their approach was collaborative while still protecting their clients' interests.
