The legal guidance and support that our business partner at Pinsent Mason led by Andrew Hornigold has provided has been second to none. It has been an example of true business partnering where Pinsents have become an extension of our leadership team. Without them this transaction would not have happened.

Paul Lees - CEO and Founder Via

We found Pinsent Masons easy to deal with, overcoming obstacles seamlessly and showing great decision making, responsiveness and application at all levels.

What impressed me was the depth of the relationship we were able to build with them. They were good colleagues and part of our team.

Sean Cooper - Bowlplex Limited

They were very proactive in sharing their sector insight and their knowledge. They would give us examples of things they had done previously; including the outcomes and what had happened. It was very useful because we could then make a judgement about whether something was reasonable, or whether we should take a different action.
