Our experience with Browne Jacobson so far has been excellent. We recruited them specifically to help us with a ground breaking agreement with a local authority to deliver 800 homes and an associated re-financing transaction for £250m involving three high street banks. They have some fantastic people with tremendous knowledge and experience.
They're very good at being available and getting straight back to you.
They think outside the box, they're good value and very approachable.
