“My company used Philip Lawson in a long running construction law dispute against a difficult opponent which concluded recently. Philip was thoroughly professional throughout and his understanding of the law pertaining to my case was second to none, indeed it was fascinating to watch him calculate every possible scenario and arrive at the best possible way forward in a matter of minutes. From the very first meeting to the very last his advice was invaluable, relevant, concise and productive. I firmly believe the end result was the best possible outcome under the circumstances and this is entirely the result of Philip’s knowledge of law, acumen in knowing when to concede a point and strength in knowing when to push forward. In addition to his professionalism and advice, I always felt Philip had a high degree of empathy for our situation, given the stakes for us were high. He was very reassuring and calming throughout the process whilst being honest and up front about the consequences of each action. This is a talent in itself and should not be overlooked. I would strongly recommend Philip Lawson for any construction law cases.” Robert Walker
