He has always understood my objectives and supported me to ensure the business achieved the best outcome in the most efficient way, preventing disruption to the business.

Andrew - You are unflappable, which I knew BUT saw at first hand throughout the past 2 years culminating in your superb performance at the mediation day and subsequently in bringing everything to a very satisfying and satisfactory conclusion late yesterday afternoon - quite literally the day before you headed off on holiday - which is further evidence of your unfailing dedication, support, client focus and professionalism yet again. It’s been an absolute privilege to work with you and to have you on my/our side throughout this. I simply cannot thank you enough and I mean that. Your professionalism created calm amidst noise, alongside the support you provided at any time of the day or night. The fact that you invested so much into our situation was very important to me and also in providing reassurance to my wife, family and work colleagues at such a crucial time. Thank you so much for being there at every stage throughout this time.
— Chairman and Founder of North West business
From the first conversation, Jamie inspired me with confidence. Not rushing at a solution, he first ensured I took the time to decide what outcome was right. From that point he created a strategy to execute a successful exit on my terms. From my experience, of over two decades at an executive level in a listed business, this combination of confidence, clarity, strategic thinking, and legal knowledge is very hard to find; highly recommended.”

Andrew acted for us on a very difficult team move, which was critical to our business. He calmly helped us negotiate our way through this difficult process with great skill and was always available when we needed him. He seemed to be one step ahead of the other side, which put us on the front foot, but also allowed us to understand how matters would develop. We achieved an excellent outcome, with minimum disruption to our business. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Jamie worked with us on a very sensitive case at Board level which was extremely tough for all those involved, but which Jamie handled calmly and professionally whilst managing to keep our meetings enjoyable, which was much needed in a tense situation! He anticipated the next steps well and made us feel that we were in safe hands. I would have no hesitation in seeking out his services again when needed and would definitely recommend him.
