Legal 500 UK, client quote

"Ant has provided invaluable strategic guidance throughout, whilst I know he has equally had an eye on the deal detail. I have been incredibly reassured that I can seek advice at every twist and turn. Dubbed ‘heart-stopping moments’ as the deal developed, I have always known that I can pick up the phone night or day and seek guidance. Ant has quite clearly ‘been there and done it’ which is vital in seeing the wood for the trees. This calm perspective brings reassurance and strategies that do not immediately come to mind in the midst of working through a crisis moment. Ant runs a tight ship and I know I have a contact for life I can always turn to for advice."
