Druces lawyers in Legal 500
Christopher Axford
Chris Axford, on the banking side, is always working hard to ensure our documentation is up-to-date in all respects and keeping us well-protected
Rob Macro
Robert Macro has an exceptional mind when it comes to complex matters and finding practical solutions (where perhaps others just would cite the challenges). This is coupled with an understated manner that clients really value and appreciate
Adrian Footer
Adrian Footer makes a point of really getting his head around the details of any deal we might be doing, understands what really matters to us as his client and applies a “can do” attitude to getting deals over the line. His no nonsense, practical approach is refreshing, as is his ready accessibility and responsiveness
Dominic Traynor
Dominic Traynor in particular is an exceptional legal adviser; both commercial and practical – his depth of experience in industry matters and general commerciality provides insight well beyond that expected of a legal adviser. His legal skills are excellent, and he effectively uses the support team so that the correct fee level is matched with the level of work undertaken
Paul Levy
Paul Levy is very thoughtful, combining a great eye for detail with a firm gaze on the bigger picture. He is very good strategically
Antony Cotton
Antony Cotton is responsive, agile and really drives momentum on transactions. He has a no-nonsense approach and knows when to cut to the chase.
Jack Dervyn
Jack Dervyn – very detail orientated and always has great availability. Jack is a testament to all corporate lawyers with work ethic and specialist sector knowledge.
Benjamin Lomer
Benjamin Lomer is very thorough, explores every angle to get the best result for his clients and has strong attention-to-detail
Caroline Cropley
Caroline Cropley is responsive and helpful and takes the time to consider the issues and offer exactly the right amount of guidance that is needed in each case
Claire Rigby
Claire Rigby is authoritative and informed but highly personable and enjoyable to work with. She understands the value of a close knit deal team across all advisors and works hard to deliver that
Michelle Goodrum
I was very impressed by their knowledge, feedback and advice. As a client, I would thoroughly recommend Suzanne Middleton and Michelle Goodrum
Mark Lamph
Mark Lamph did an excellent job of managing all the legal aspects of a £10 million fundraising in 2021. Since then he has displayed a maturity beyond his years when dealing with counterparties’ lawyers, and he has become a trusted adviser for converting terms of legal agreements into good commercial advice
