It was a pleasure dealing with Robert.

Martyn Weaver, Weaver UK

Most importantly you were always available to answer my calls and react speedily and efficiently to each phase of the drafting. Your commercial approach was very helpful in overcoming the nuances of the contract and your legal drafting was excellent. Overall it was a pleasure dealing with you in creating what I believe is a very clear and understandable document suited to the student clients. I will gladly engage with you in the future
