Feedback
“Jake achieved a brilliant result for our client in a long-running and very acrimonious dispute that involved allegations of defamation and harassment spanning many years. Jake not only succeeded in getting the claim struck out but also obtained a large indemnity costs order against the opponent. His tenacious attitude, commercial acumen, sound strategic advice and client-friendly approach were all unwavering throughout and exactly what the client needed to get the matter resolved to her satisfaction”

“I am writing to thank you for the extraordinary work you did for **********. We were delighted to hear of the wonderful outcome for the applicant as well as the £37,000 payable to the Access to Justice Foundation. The news of the order spread around the team last week in the first full week of lockdown – just what was needed to lift everyone’s spirits. Distributed through the Foundation to frontline services, this money will go towards providing a crucial lifeline to those who find themselves alone, frightened, and in desperate need of help.
We can see how much work you put into supporting ********** and we are grateful for your time. I understand that you have also taken on two other pro bono cases this year on top of all your work with this case, which is an outstanding commitment to pro bono. ”
