“During the period of unprecedented change for the UK legal professions, I have found, when working with Crispin (from 2009 to the present), that his knowledge of the professions, the legal market and the likely developments were of the highest order. His flair for new ideas and his meticulous planning were therefore always matters in which I have had a considerable degree of confidence which was justified by subsequent experience.”
Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd (former Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales)
“Making innovation happen in the legal world is difficult. Having Crispin onside makes it easier. He thinks laterally, works to remove barriers, and brings strong industry and regulatory insights to underpin solutions. A great ally for disruptors in the global legal market.”
Global Law Leader, EY
“Legal services regulation is changing, with profound consequence for corporate and capital structures. Advice needs to be creative and robust. Crispin uses his unique regulatory background to give very helpful advice on structural solutions, while the breadth of his international industry contacts and knowledge gives very valuable context. We look forward to working with him again.”
Managing Director, Legal Services Investment Banking, Stifel
“Crispin has been invaluable to us, both in counsel on the direction of travel for regulation in the industry, and with practical help to land our M&A agenda successfully. He combines highly relevant experience from his work with the regulator with a practical understanding of the commercial realities facing modern law firms. We feel lucky to be working with him.”
CEO, Fletchers Group
“Crispin’s deep experience in legal market reform in the UK and the US in particular, and his connections across all key stakeholders, is market leading and a strategic asset. We value his insights and advice, as well as his creative problem-solving in this complex and sensitive area.”
Global Head of Legal Services, KPMG
“We’ve worked with Crispin for years on a variety of projects tied to our UK and US legal services. The reason we keep coming back to him is simple: you won’t find an individual out there who has more knowledge of the regulatory and market landscapes in both jurisdictions and the ability to tie things together from a strategic standpoint thanks to his in-depth understanding of the legal industry. Crispin has helped us devise strategies to work with regulators to achieve business objectives in a way I just haven’t found anywhere else. His deep ties to the regulatory community and ability to think creatively within regulatory confines are an invaluable combination. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone who is considering a new venture in the legal space: especially for those working under new or grey regulatory frameworks.”
