I have worked with CRS for a number of years and I have always been impressed with their ability to handle the complex and turn it into simple, practicable advice.

Charities respondent
UK

CRS has a level of involvement that often goes over and above what is expected of a legal adviser. Our CRS lawyer is like an extra trustee. There is always someone available to assist.

Charities respondent

CRS has a client focused and professional culture. They provide excellent advice and instil confidence. They are also commercial and not unnecessarily dogmatic.

They have a breadth of services, deep knowledge and are very easy to talk to, they explain law in a simple way and will find solutions. Excellent and thorough.
