Richard and I worked together for several years when we were both corporate lawyers at Slaughter and May. Richard was a great pleasure to work with, showing great commitment in supporting and meeting clients’ objectives. He provided advice with clarity, efficiency and focus on the key issues. I am sure that he brings the same qualities to the services provided by The Legal Partners
We approached Richard Mullett of The Legal Partners team for advice regarding an overseas business contract. Richard’s knowledge and advice was incisive and his calm, positive & easy manner refreshing. We have since employed Richard’s services on various other legal matters. We would highly recommend The Legal Partners
Richard and his team provided invaluable help, guidance and support for two major transactions. His knowledge and expertise helped ensure both went through in a timely fashion, with potential choppy waters skilfully navigated. He was always available at the end of the phone, or face to face. In negotiations with the other party, I was clearly better briefed and prepared. I would recommend The Legal Partners without hesitation
