Practice head Douglas McDonald frequently acts in high-value commercial disputes for clients in the technology and life sciences sectors. Principal associates Helen Prandy, who handles procurement disputes for government departments, the NHS and pharma companies, and Lino Di Lorenzo, who focuses on insolvency litigation, complex contract and shareholder disputes, are highly regarded. ‘Tactically and strategically astute’ senior associate James Shiel is a key adviser to the life sciences sector.

  • ‘A relatively small regional firm that is punching well above its weight. Situated in a fast developing tech hub, it has been able to tap into some bio and other tech disputes that might otherwise have gone to a larger London firm, acquiring some valuable battle experience in the process. As a result the firm can now compete with pretty much anyone in the field, whilst still being cheaper and more responsive than the bigger players (precisely because it is smaller). ’

  • ‘Douglas MacDonald - a dream partner for any sort of commercial dispute, but with expertise in bio and other tech disputes. Great ideas, knows how to delegate but keeps his eye on the detail.'

  • 'Associate Alexandra Illingworth - a very efficient associate, who knows exactly what is required to win a case and leaves no stone unturned to get it.'

  • 'Senior associate James Shiel is tactically and strategically astute, he is a partner waiting to happen.’
