Clients and peers praised our teams for being constructive, collaborative and creative when handling complex matters, while highlighting lawyers who are super bright but also super pragmatic and who consistently champion their clients' interests. Feedback also recognised our people as knowledgeable, calm, consistent, empathetic and easy to build a trusting relationship with. Another source noted that all members of the team are personable, strategic and combine excellent client handling with a really incisive approach from the get-go. Individual lawyers were commended for their gravitas, commercial judgment and appetite to think outside the box, with one interviewee describing a Russell-Cooke lawyer as simply "phenomenal".
