Comments from Jamie's clients "Jamie Berry was standout. Our deal involved a US Multinational acquirer with an advisory team that would have rivalled the number of extras in Ben-Hur! It involved necessary real time interaction with those advisers in different world-wide time zones so we were often working together out of hours and with a hierarchy of opposing solicitors in the UK and lawyers in the US – Jamie was side-by-side in the trenches with us and acted with professionalism, expertise, commerciality, pragmatism and humour. Looking back, he was an intrinsic part of our team and invaluable in securing the successful sale of our business." The Legal 500 - 2021 "Brilliant and I couldn’t have asked for more from Jamie. Jamie got involved right from the start and achieved the best outcome for us. Personally for me as a co-director, and for the future of Easy Convey, it was Jamie’s skills. He’s very easy to deal with, knowledgeable and astute. Whilst TWM are a regional UK law firm, Jamie has the right expertise to act on behalf of our business in relation to a deal involving an international investor with global law firm representation. Thank you again to you and your excellent team to bring this deal to a very positive close. Your expertise ensured our deal was right for us and we made it over the finishing post."
