Lorraine: January 2018

The case was trying and laborious, but James and Alex were tirelessly positive, patient, and professional. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

Alex Deal is, simply, in a class of his own. Focused, dedicated and genuinely caring about his clients, he excels in getting into every tiny detail quickly. He attains a very sharp grasp of extremely complicated issues including cross-border commercial matters. He is a very bright, hardworking individual inside and outside working hours. He really protects his clients to the best of his ability. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Excellent manner with clients and highly gifted.”

Peter Scholes, October 2016

Alex Deal and Laura St-Gallay responded immediately to my request for assistance even though the amounts at stake were relatively small. The advice I received was helpful and timely, and a satisfactory settlement was reached quickly in large part due to the high quality of the advice given. Fees have in all cases been very reasonable and I have very much appreciated the responsiveness of the team when I have needed advice at short notice” I would not hesitate to recommend the Firm for any matters relating to litigation/dispute resolution or employee/partnership law matters (where Alex has previously provided valuable advice).”
