Cleveland & Co are truly an external in-house team. As sole counsel, I have a panel of commercial, practical experts in their field who can weigh on specialist legal matters. Always responsive and helpful, I don’t know what I would do without them!
Cleveland & Co have been supporting us on our journey to a $1bn plus asset under management for a few years. They have filled a need for us – having on hand a general counsel with multiple skill sets without having to employ a whole general counsel team. It is hard to do – but they have made it work – and work very well.
