    - CFO, Solidatus

  • “Pragmatism at its finest. The way in which Size Seven have been able to plug in and get on with work without unnecessary fee discussions, scoping calls and context is refreshing. As a sole counsel, I really value not needing to closely manage external advice and budgets with them - always right on the money for what I need and the timeframes I need it in. Brilliant!”

    - Legal Director, Attio

  • “We got a phenomenal lawyer. His unique blend of deep legal knowledge, coupled with his astute business acumen, makes him an invaluable asset in navigating complex legal matters. He has an exceptional ability to manage business risks while ensuring deals are closed efficiently and effectively. His pragmatic approach and strategic mindset, make him a trusted advisor with a results-driven focus.”
