Ed Johnson has been particularly valuable on the property side, supporting us with option agreements, leases, deeds of variation, and insurance matters. He is very easy to go to, always happy to help, and takes the time to explain things in layman’s terms, which makes complex issues much easier to navigate. He is responsive, solutions-focused, and keeps things moving, with a strong sense of what matters commercially.
