Words From Our Clients

"Beverley provides very solid advice on banking and financing and contracts."

"Beverley Jones has great knowledge of our business. She is always proactive, responsive and supportive. Excellent advice and support."

“The best decision we ever made in selecting a legal partner was to appoint [Beverley] as our legal adviser. It has been – by a country mile – our largest and most complex deal we have ever participated in. [She has] been at our side every step of the way and it has given us enormous comfort to know [she has] been our adviser. The quality of advice has been consistently out of the top drawer and whilst I know [she has] fielded a bigger team of widely talented colleagues along the way I recognise [she has] done some of the heaviest lifting by far.”

“Amidst all the commercial changes that occurred throughout the process [she] always offered a very thoughtful and reasoned approach to matters and that is very much appreciated at our end.”

"She's very helpful, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She's very supportive and keeps things to understandable language."
