What the Legal 500 say about Bolt Burdon:-
“Bolt Burdon’s ‘excellent’ team includes Mike Shepherd, who is ‘knowledgeable, technically able and an excellent litigator’; and recent recruit Chris Phillips, who joined from Collins Long and handles non-contentious matters. Shepherd recently represented musician Paul Kodish in a dispute over a terminated band agreement. Phillips acts for award-winning musician Tinie Tempah and production company Insatiable International.”
