Client Testimonials
"As the UK's fastest growing multi channel integrated communications/contact centre business, it is vital for The Listening Company to work with a law firm that understands our business drivers and business model, from both a commercial and legal perspective, can handle our increasing requirements, and has the expertise and experience to support us in contract negotiations with our clients.
The Waterfront Partnership as a whole and Carole Hailey in particular understand the outsourcing sector so well that they actually fulfil the role of an in house General Counsel, bringing expert contract review and drafting skills to bear, with limited briefing from us; and stand up against our client's lawyers in contract negotiation where necessary, often against firms much larger than themselves. They only spend time on the major issues and translate our commercial objectives into a legal framework.
I recommend them without hesitation."
Trevor Brown, Chief Operating Officer, The Listening Company
