Probert Case Study
“Ed has a real knack for always getting to the point. He has an uncanny ability to cut through issues and identify those elements that are most important for the business. Again, this saves everyone time. He will not necessarily haggle about every last point and hang out for the contract that you might want in some ideal world, as some commercial lawyers do. He has the experience and wisdom to focus on the areas that are most important to the business. He also understands that these contracts are with our partners and that they must work for both sides. You always get the impression he has thought everything through thoroughly before he responds to any point – and he takes into account the bigger picture as well as the small details." - Justin Sycamore, MD, Toptrack Learning.
