‘The team's knowledge of the public sector and of local government in particular provides a basis for their advice which is invariably finely tuned to the particular subject matter in question, and they are alive to the subtle political factors at play.’
‘Wesley O'Brien and Phil McCourt have been outstanding in the quality of the advice provided and the explanations which they give for it. Their ability to think beyond the immediate problem and to look forward and predict consequences is as useful as it is impressive.’
