I have known Stuart professionally for over 20 years, working both with him and in opposition to him during that time. He has always been a very reasonable and considered person to work with which is why he is now my preferred external costs lawyer. Technically able but commercially minded. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him
I have worked with Stuart for over 15 years. He has huge experience of dealing with high value and complex disputes with a realistic and commercial mindset. He is able to negotiate effectively and knows the cases to fight and those to compromise. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart.
Stuart delivered excellent training to our team of lawyers. Stuart is extremely knowledgeable, identifying the opportunities to make important savings in local government legal spending. Stuart provides an excellent and reliable service and I would wholly recommend him
