Perhaps I may also take this opportunity to place on record the high regard I have for Karim Mohamed and the way he managed the case. He was ably supported by a succession of worthy and capable assistants, as the case progressed, but at no time did he allow the change of personnel to upset the timetable or impact upon what needed to be done. The core issues in this case were not without complication (as some 75,000 pages of evidence attest:) but Karim’s quiet and unflappable approach to the challenge was a genuine source of comfort and helped bolster confidence that there would ultimately be an acceptable outcome; working with him has been a real pleasure. With apologies for stating the obvious but I hope that need to pursue litigation in the future will not arise but if it does your firm will be the first port of call.

I just wanted to say thank you for your helpful advice, relating to our proposed house-purchase and the poor behaviour of the vendor's estate agent. I really do appreciate you taking the time to call and give me advice, and for being so helpful.
