He is a really good person to run a firm in terms of giving them a profile and making introductions. If he meet someone and thinks that they should meet someone else, he engineers that.
William is a very well-known and charismatic partner.
I find him to be incredibly talented lawyer: he distils complex data sets down to their bare essence with ease. He is legally and technically astute and he is my go-to for work in the Caribbean.
