What the Team is Known For
Strengths
White & Black have gained an understanding of our business and take a pragmatic approach to get to the solution quickly and efficiently.
Their commercial awareness sets W&B apart from others; they have a great sense of our situation and the commercial aspects of our questions.
White & Black have no issues grasping the complex legal issue that arise and presenting efficient and sensible solutions.
They provide a rare combination of high-level expertise, practicality and efficiency, with zero ego or personality issues. The team were all warm, pleasant to work with and constructive.
I admire their risk-averse approach to complex and sophisticated matters. Responsiveness is one of their greatest strengths.

I cannot recommend John Allen highly enough; I am grateful for his expertise.

John is a very safe pair of hands. He has buckets of market knowledge that helped to cut through some sell-side objections.
John is experienced, commercial and pragmatic. His problem-solving attitude is refreshingly different to the 'problem-finding' approach.
