Chambers Global noted for 2020 that 'in addition to mandates affecting major players in the consumer goods, financial services and technology industries, the team is increasingly active on behalf of high net worth and other publicly prominent individuals, and often also of their associated family trusts. It is also well known for advising clients on their interaction with official commissions of inquiry.'
