“typifies the group with his responsiveness and high quality advice”

Legal 500 2019

“very commercial pragmatic style” and “calm and excellent communicator”

Chambers UK 2019

Duncan has a very approachable style and attitude. He was able to give me advice that on occasions I didn’t want to hear. He is practical and explained issues to me in language that I could understand. He leads a very strong team from the front and instils in the team his positive, can-do attitude.
