"The rankings acknowledge the hard work and commitment the team in NI dedicates to preparing clients for what comes next, as well as our in-depth experience and knowledge stretching across different sectors and services. I’m very pleased to see many of our talented lawyers included in the rankings this year – congratulations to you all.”
