Testimonials

Pippa’s advice as Business Development Consultant to Howard Kennedy was practical, commercial and extremely effective. She helped lawyers to recognize the importance of Business Development and to appreciate that lawyers have to meet increasingly high expectations of service to clients. Pippa gave them sound tools to meet the recession with confidence. She was energetic, enthusiastic and creative. Pippa’s charisma, chutzpah, and authority enabled her to work effectively with both the most senior and the most junior lawyers.
