Client Feedback: “I have known Darren for over 8 years having working with him when I was at Standard Life Investments and now in my position of Ediston Properties. Simply put he goes the extra mile. He is always responsive, detailed and is more akin to a project manager than a typical lawyer. Working with Darren is like having all the resource of a large in-house, I get answers when I want them presented how I want then with a true appreciation of the commercial context. He makes himself available whenever the work requires it and takes direct responsibility for delivery of service.”

John Watkins, Director - Investment, Ediston Properties

"Mr Williamson is amongst the most proactive, knowledgeable and driven solicitors I have worked with. This is particularly attested to by the fact that near all my legal activities have been undertaken exclusively by the said over the past two years.

Not only does Mr Williamson provide sound legal advice, which one obviously expects, but also such advice is afforded with a genuine appreciation of the commercial context in which the advice is given. This is invaluable. I would recommend no other ahead of Mr Williamson"
