White & Black has "made a significant impression. A specialist in corporate and technology law, it has gained client praise for its focused, honed advice".
Chambers & Partners, 2010
“Venture capital clients offered resounding praise for the firm’s abilities and dedication to the sector, comparing the practice favourably to much larger City firms: it “gives better value than many more well-known firms but provides advice that is easily of the same calibre,” they remarked. The practice is also esteemed for its “business-oriented and flexible approach.” The team acts for a range of venture capital and technology clients, including Freestyle New Media, Photoways and Netvibes. Managing partner Phil Riman's broad experience includes a spell acting as in-house counsel to 3i. Riman is described as “an exceptionally capable lawyer whose extremely commercial and pragmatic attitude inspires confidence in clients.”
Chambers & Partners, 2009
“White & Black have been superb. As one of the world’s leading companies in our sector, we ask a great deal of our advisers and White & Black have consistently exceeded our expectations. Compared to their larger rivals, put simply, they are more committed, more commercial and so much more able to bridge the gap between the law and business. I would definitely recommend them.”
Deane Ingram, Head of UK Operations, Isklar AS.
“I have worked with a number of legal firms in recent years. Having done so, I recommend White & Black, who provide services of the very highest quality”.
John Peace, Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank, Chairman of Experian, Chairman of Burberry
“As an international business operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we need trusted lawyers who are highly responsive to our needs and who appreciate commercial realities. I have come to rely on the lawyers at White & Black to meet this expectation every time.”
Nigel Harris, CEO, Fresh Direct
‘White & Black Legal LLP is ‘a high-quality, focused niche firm’ established in 2007 by a team which includes Phil Riman. Riman is “excellent in understanding client needs and supporting specific project objectives”.’
