Our point of contact Jason Alcock made a very good impression when we first went to Ansons for advice. It was clear that he was not looking to just earn fees for his firm as his advice could have taken us down a path that did this but he was realistic about the likely outcomes and suggested we use the money we would pay out on fees in a more positive way such as winning new business
