"The key thing that stands out compared to other firms is how well they clearly outline often complex issues and potential solutions in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. They are always calm and collected, which often helps defuse tense all-party calls when potential issues arise and helps make deals happen when conflicts crop up. Adam Aston always has a calm head and provides sound advice without fail. Ross Galbraith is also very strong at providing clear advice and working to tight deadlines."
"The team at Muckle is quick and responsive when working on deals, and unusually (in my view), they are incredibly commercial and practical, trying to find solutions to challenges rather than simply listing the many reasons for not overcoming a challenge. Their attention to detail is second to none, and importantly, they are very well organised, which means that they are constantly being proactive and chasing outstanding points with the opposing lawyers. For me, their collaborative approach sets them apart in the market."
