The Legal 500 2023 – Andrew Masters client comments - October 2022
I found Andrew Masters to be really human and personable in his approach. He didn’t bulldoze me with legal knowledge (something I have experienced in the past) but instead took the time to listen to me properly but also explained things in the simplest and most easily understood way so I could relay information to our directors easily. Andrew was pragmatic, commercially astute and collaborative in his approach – both with me and his junior team members. It felt like we reached a collective agreement which considered what was right for the the business taking into account my experience as well as the legal risks.’
