‘As counsel instructed by Dentons I don't have insight to all matters requested (such as billings innovations etc). From my experience with instructing solicitors, the team I was instructed by at Dentons (in particular Michael Wright, Associate) was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and above all commercial in their approach to the litigation. The case was quite a technical construction matter involving rather complicated expert evidence on fire safety standards. The Dentons team engaged proactively with that evidence and worked with me to develop a clear case strategy that ultimately led to a successful (and commercial) settlement at mediation. ’
‘Michael Wright (Associate) was a commercial thinker from the get-go. He knew his client (a large, national developer) inside out and how to go about achieving his client's objectives. He approached the task of developing our defence both pragmatically and with the attention to detail it deserved. As counsel, this really helped me focus the issues in dispute and where to concentrate my own efforts. He was approachable, knowledgable and above all (from counsel's perspective) responsive. ’
‘My experience of Dentons is that they are very pragmatic, knowledgeable and commercial in the advice they offer. Akin Akinbode and his team offer excellent, direct, straight forward clear and concise advice supplemented with the risks and various permutations of the options provided.
- They operate using various systems and tools which assist to make their role and advice streamlined. ’
‘AKin Akinbode let the team with strong leadership and provided excellent, concise advice. He conducts himself professionally at all times even against the backdrop of a challenging environment. I found him to be dynamic and enthusiastic and always available.
- The team of Associates he led including Akil Jackson, Jennifer Duff and Millie Leonard were all also incredibly professional, offered concise advice and were dynamic, agile, hard working and flexible. ’
‘
