Témoignages

Collectés indépendamment par l'équipe de recherche du Legal 500.

  • ‘A close-knit team, with strong leadership.’

  • ‘Danny Tsang and his team always stand out.’

  • ‘I have worked with S&S for many years which itself is testament to the service received. Over this lengthy period our pension scheme has faced countless pressures. The resources available in terms of people, knowledge and ability to understand, resolve, communicate and apply has provided the trustees and other advisers with the comfort needed.’

  • ‘What stands out is the ability to grasp difficult concepts, understand and negotiate those facts and then communicate and explain to those with lesser knowledge and understanding - in layman’s terms. Once again, at whatever level, this ability has shone through. The trustee board has put immense trust and confidence in Ed Smith and Danny Tsang and is full of appreciation for them.’
