Testimonials

Relationships are the lifeblood of our business and we very much appreciate you connecting us with your high profile clients. The partnership approach you take with us is hugely appreciated.

Without the support, guidance and assistance of the Rigby Cooke team, I have no doubt our business would be a significantly different operation. Thank you for your unwavering support and friendship.

Hamish de Crespigny, executive director of Vantage Property Investments

Working with Rigby Cooke has been fantastic. Some lawyers just listen to the facts and then tell us what to do, but Rigby Cooke looks at what we are trying to achieve and then works through a number of scenarios so we can decide. It is very practical and keeps us involved.

Darren Sandford, state manager of a national construction company

I would recommend Rigby Cooke to anyone requiring commercial law expertise. The advice and communication were always timely and succinct, whilst the service was always delivered professionally, yet in a friendly manner.
