What do others say

“In a negligence case which had dragged on since preliminary notice was received in July 2018, it was Andrea Stanford’s involvement from December 2020 which made all the difference. Her diligent work and effective communication has enabled the case to be brought to a very satisfactory settlement and lifted a weight from my shoulders.”

(from the Legal 500 2024) - "Andrea Stanford - excellent with clients, engaged."

I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”
