David’s advice is pragmatic, commercially focused and constructive and we value the fact that he raises alternative solutions. The service we receive is excellent, and he is always able to give us the time that we require.

What is great about David is his reassuring legal knowledge combined with his collaborative nature. One instantly feels one has a friend who will fight your corner, who just happens to be a legal expert as well.

David Blomfield is an outstanding lawyer, who has supported myself and my last two employers for over 16 years. David works like a pure extension to our team, it’s refreshing and invaluable. He immersed himself in the complex structure of our business and also the language of our industry which has made his advice exacting. David is a true professional in his field as well as being sharp and astute when it really matters, fast paced but never at the expense of quality. He embraces every issue with refreshed enthusiasm.

David’s advice is technically excellent and also pragmatic. He has recently saved us considerable sums financially, in terms of the application of the service provision change rules under TUPE.
