David Wedgwood

Commercial & Civil Dispute Resolution | Court of Protection | Head of Department | Partner

“The partnership between a solicitor & client is founded upon a mutual understanding of objectives & transparency on costs. That necessitates good advice as to the costs & benefits of any objective, based on an expert analysis of the prospects of success. Once objectives have been identified, we look to agree budgetary expectations. Effective communication as to progress then needs to continue until resolution.”
