Chambers 2009 commented on the firm:
The firm: The “friendly and easy-going team” continue to provide a “high-quality, solid and dependable” service. It has been kept busy advising a growing number of clients on changes to the licensing laws and also acted in a number of licence reviews. Its recent merger with Hancock Caffin looks set to give the team a Cornwall presence, which may bring in trade from tourist areas.
