Peer review:

Vanessa is the epitome of a leading private client lawyer. She always conducts herself with the utmost professionalism. She is a well respected, trusted advisor, an absolute pleasure to work with. You know that you are in safe hands and good company when dealing with Vanessa. She is always calm under pressure. Vanessa has strong technical excellence but perhaps more importantly she has excellent interpersonal skills.
