The Legal 500 2023
“Simply the key feature is the way in which the lead partner understands how I conduct business and that the client contact has been adapted and moulded for me. Andrew Woods gives me outstanding service regardless of project size, and has ensured that other departments feed back to me in the same way.”
The Legal 500 2023
“We have worked very closely with Andrew Woods and Andrew Querelle on complex matters for several years. Both are highly efficient and knowledgeable – they get things done. With SE-Solicitors we don’t have to hold on the telephone, in a queue to be put through to the wrong person – we call through and they answer. The firm delivers!”
