Below are comments about our Corporate and
Partnership Disputes team taken from recent editions of one of the
UK's leading independent legal directories.
"Blake Lapthorn is widely
recognised as "one of the biggest players in the region." […] Its
client base is also impressively diverse, including leading
companies in the IT, aviation and engineering sectors.'
Susie Dryden
is one of the top litigators in the region. Sources
say she is "a leading light and always puts up
a strong defence of her clients' interests." "

practice and the depth of its resources across the country."

"They're very clear on the issues that affect our
industry. They've really taken the time to understand our
business."
