"DMH Stallard are business-focused and practical with their advice. They are very down-to-earth, there's nothing pompous about them, which is important because in the technology industry you need straight talking."
Caroline Bertin, European Counsel, Hyperion Solutions
"For the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster guitar, we needed to draw up an agreement with a major multinational sponsor for a charfity concert at Wembley Arena. We thought it was going to be difficult to get a satisfactory contract drawn up because of the complexities, but DMH Stallard are good at getting in and understanding what we are trying to achieve, they were able to set out responsibilities in terms which all four parties - ourselves, the agents, sponsor and concert promoter - could understand and sign up to."
Martin Brady, Managing Director, Fender Europe Ltd
"I like the way they will look at a problem from a commercial perspective. There are always a number of different options to be considered, but they will sometimes say, 'Look, the risk of x, y, or z happening is relatively low, why don't we take that into account before we decide on any particular course of action'. They can provide that degree of input because they understand the commercial drivers of our business."
Helen Ball, Finance Director, Glass's Information Services Ltd
"In every instance that we have had reason to use the services of the firm we have never been let down. In matters of debt collection, employment, commercial and contractual disputes, they have provided a first class service. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their service."
Tony Weaver, Chief Operating Officer, Matrix Communications Group plc
Legal Directories
DMH Stallard enters the top band this year on the back of a raft of positive testimonials from market sources. Clients concur that it has an excellent standing in IP, as well as in related aspects of competition law. The IT and IP group has shifted towards acting on a higher proportion of pure IP deals and advises on a balance of contentious and non-contentious work, although the unit has recently enjoyed a flow of contentious instructions.
