Jamie's testimonials include:

"I had great faith in my legal team, and I built up a close relationship with them over time. There was a natural rapport between us all and trust on both sides", Coleen Rooney's autobiography, 'My Account'.  Jamie was also praised following the successful outcome of this case for his “impressive work”, “spot on analysis” and for his “understated brilliance and humility.”

“I just want to personally thank you for your endless commitment to us.  Not everyone would have thrown themselves into this as you have...we have been knocked out by the quality and commitment of our representation. It has been second to none.  Your endless support and input has kept the wind in our sail and got us to this destination.” 

“Legal excellence is personified in Jamie Hurworth, he is the weapon of choice when you find yourself in a battle and wish to take the fight to the enemy…Jamie’s talent and commitment really was above and beyond and our survival owed everything to his masterful tactics in engaging the enemy.  You have some very impressive talent within your ranks.”

"I would just like to express my thanks to Jamie who has assisted us in retrieving corporation tax from our previous accountants.  I provided all the documents going back to 2013 and Jamie took it from there.  Usually in disputes, I have to assign hours of my time to the case, not so with this.  Jamie conducted himself professionally, was very knowledgeable and approached the case very tactically.  He has been a pleasure to work with, always providing clear advice, and with prompt responses and a better than expected result.  I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone needing specialist advice."
