‘Harbottle and Lewis has a well-deserved excellent reputation for quickly assessing the issues and advising on likely outcomes and strategies. They keep clients well informed.’
‘Howard Hymanson gave a highly personalised service. He provided a thought-out strategy to achieve the best outcome.’
‘Very committed - Howard did my case whilst on holiday! Empathetic, honest and direct.’
'Marian Derham was very effective and efficient, and able to digest a large amount of background case information (often technical) and identify and extract all the pertinent details to make the best of the case. She was always focused on how to achieve the best outcome and adapted accordingly. She was very easy to work with and explore options with, and at what was sometimes an emotionally charged time she provided excellent support and guidance that only someone very experienced could do so well and convincingly.'
'Marian Derham's confident manner together with her deep understanding of my case made her a formidable advocate when acting on my behalf in negotiations. Her availability was excellent, and she was always incredibly responsive (often outside of working hours and weekdays). I would highly recommend her to others.'
