What our clients say...

“We commissioned Mills & Reeve to develop a legal agreement for public and independent sector provider organisations working together. The work was potentially extremely challenging and complex with little precedent. We were very impressed with the manner in which the firm approached and facilitated the work which ensured all organisations were on board and we managed to achieve consensus.”
