Legal 500 – David King

David King recently provided expert trust advice for his client; it was not a straightforward matter, but the trustee had this to say afterwards: “Thank you for everything you have done in order to finalise the matter that has taken me years. It was a great day when I found you and Harrison Clark Rickerbys; it has been a genuine pleasure working with you and all your colleagues.
“There is no question that if I, or anyone that I know, need any legal assistance, Harrison Clark Rickerbys would be the first and only place to turn to. I thank you once again for everything.”
