Florence Newton

My Approach

I approach all matters with a careful and considered approach. I strive to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients by providing robust advice as to both the commerciality and legal aspects of their dispute. I take pride in delivering a high quality service, by adopting a straightforward, pragmatic, and pro-active approach to representing my clients.

Commercial disputes can, if managed incorrectly, result in an unnecessarily stressful and costly experience. For this reason, I ensure that I provide transparent advice on costs, together with regular updates as to the matter progression. I take pride in being easily contactable and on-hand to discuss all aspects of my client’s matter.
