The James Hutton Institute has now been working with Pinsent Masons Public Policy team for almost a year and have been delighted with the service provided so far. From the outset Andrew Henderson and his team worked with us in developing a public affairs service that worked for us and have continued to be adaptable as this has grown and developed. The team are extremely well informed and provide us with their knowledge and experience, giving good-quality advice and support, sometimes in very tight turn around timescales. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone else.
