I am really impressed by the Olswang Construction Litigation team as it really was a first rate performance all the way through from Nick [Lane] with a special mention for Peter [Clyde] whose grasp of the technical aspects of the case was most impressive. Peter was able to cut through the mountains of paper work to give detached commercial advice. Nick led from the front being strategic, conciliatory, pragmatic with a hint of raw aggression - fantastic combination.
