Private Client review:
I have worked with Richard on various matters for around 10 years now and would highly recommend him to anyone. Richard is intelligent, calm and is able to provide practical and straightforward legal advice. Richard's response times are always fast and he is always willing to have a call to brainstorm the best solutions with all parties involved. Richard is also very personable and has built up a very good rapport with the whole team at my company.

Institutional Client review:
Richard is an excellent lawyer. He explains complex issues extremely well so you can understand issues at hand. He is also very quick to respond in our ever increasing demanding world for advice. I would highly recommend Richard if advice is required in relation to all Trust, Fiduciary and or Estate planning matters.

Peer review:
Richard is a very responsive and well organised professional. The mutual client case that we work on is a very active structure that requires understanding of complex financial transactions and a swift turnaround time. Richard delivers on all counts and I would therefore recommend him to other Trustees.
