Robert Thompson

In particular, I would like to underline the partner and head of the corporate department Rob Thompson. I have limitless professional and personal esteem for him, but also for his entire team. It is very comforting to work with partners like Rob Thompson, who manage to keep control in all situations, who genuinely care and who combine professionalism with fast, solid and tangible results, always remaining extremely competitive. It is also personally a rewarding experience to work with Rob Thompson. For me, he is simply one of the best commercial / M&A lawyers in the United Kingdom.

He is a brilliant lawyer. A strategic and fast thinker who is solutions-orientated and results driven with encyclopedic knowledge.

Rob and the Ward Hadaway team were simply brilliant throughout

Rob Thompson, is a master of his craft. He can run rings round any lawyer he is up against, but doesn’t feel the need to constantly prove his superiority. He stays close to the detail, but provides perspective and context to his team so that the legal process becomes an enabler rather than a blockage. I can wholeheartedly recommend them. They simply get the job done quickly and effectively.

Robert Thompson and his team led the transaction without loss of momentum to ensure that we completed the deal with no erosion of value. This was no mean feat but was delivered with a calmness and professionalism commensurate with their reputation as leaders in their field.

Robert Thompson is a highly respected corporate lawyer with a wealth of experience in representing private and owner-managed businesses in their various sales and purchases.

Robert is considered ‘straight-talking, no-nonsense and easy to understand’. ‘He takes time to listen to what I want to achieve and then recommends a strategy’

He is very experienced and understands the market and the region.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ward Hadaway to any shareholders considering selling their business. Having been approached by a trade acquirer, the team at Ward Hadaway provided us with clear, expert advice regarding all aspects of the sale process and the expectations likely to be upon each shareholder post sale.
