"The majority of investments I make for my funds are direct real estate, however I have recently exchanged terms to buy the units in a Jersey Property Unit Trust and Limited Partnership. I am used to receiving good quality and timely advice on property purchases from AG, but was, quite frankly, delighted with the service on the corporate side. I received a clear explanation at each step of the process about what was happening and why, and what it meant. I was given commercial advice, and perhaps more important in this transaction, AG managed to take out some of the emotion to keep everything on track. The link with the corporate and property sides of the transaction made the whole process much simpler."
Jason Baggaley, Standard Life Investments

"[AG] have shown themselves to be dedicated, extremely responsive, technically and commercially astute. [Their] transactional management skills of a variety of work streams were instrumental in getting the matter completed, not to mention making the life of in-house counsel substantially easier."
