What our clients say
We are grateful for the following, unsolicited (except for Chambers) comments from our clients
About the firm and our work
- Anonymous (via Chambers Directory 2010) - The quality of service is excellent and provided at a reasonable price.
- ICT client - I have found your firm to be a lot more responsive than our legal department used to be.
- University senior manager - Anderson & Company has been our saviour and shining light on many occasions.
- UK company chairman - [in relation our work on the sale of the company] my thanks to you for a good job well done.
- Technology start-up company owner/manager - This draft agreement was very well done - I think the way you approached the definition of an invention was spot on.
- Business development manager - This letter is excellent - it's so well argued, I can't see how they can disagree with the conclusion.
- Finance Director - You provide very good value for money. I probably shouldn't be telling you this...! Postscript: on seeing this quote in our recent brochure, the Finance Director in question commented: "If I was the FD saying that you're very good value for money, then I want shooting but it's true!"
About our people
- Anonymous (via Chambers Directory 2010) - Founding partner Mark Anderson impresses with his ability to focus on the key issues and give clear and succinct advice. He provides first-rate commercial input as well as first-rate legal input.
- University client - We use Mark Anderson a great deal. I've done so for over a decade. Great for any matters contractual or IP or sound commercial advice.
- Joint venture CEO - [Mark Anderson] has been wonderful. The dialogue with him [about how the JV should be structured] has been outstandingly useful so far, and he has curbed a number of my creative excesses, whilst grasping the fundamental ideas involved in this very new type of arrangement.
- North American biotech client - I should also specifically note to congratulate you for having brought Mark Anderson on board to handle the contracts. He demonstrated an excellent grasp of what needed to be done and how concepts needed to be phrased.
- US-based vice-president, business development - I thought again about your request for a good UK lawyer that could handle your contract needs. Mark Anderson ...is pragmatic, knows his stuff and I think you’ll like him. If I had to find a UK lawyer to work with, then I’d probably reach out to Mark.
- University senior manager - It's notable how many people who have worked with you cite you as an influence. As do I.
- Small business owner - Lionel, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in [obtaining a substantial sum of money in a disputed insurance claim]. I am sure that if we had continued to pursue this matter with [another firm of solicitors] we would not have seen the same conclusion.
- Owner of financial consultancy firm - This is really excellent work Paul. I have to say I am thoroughly delighted with your work on the [agreements].
- Finance Director -Thanks Lisa - your assistance on this has been extremely valuable, and I'm very grateful for your input.
- Designer -Lisa has been an excellent person to work with, so please do pass on my thanks, and commend her highly on her friendly professionalism. Should something else come along, I will not hesitate to contact you.
And our favourite, from a world-ranking academic scientist:
- Mark, you are a reasonably intelligent solicitor...
