We were flattered to receive these kind words from Michael Hartley at Goodlaw Solcitors.
“Further to our recent correspondence, I was just emailing, on the back of a number of recent interactions with Temple over policies and funding, to say how refreshing it is to work with such a flexible ATE provider.
As you know, and rather sadly for me, I have been doing this work for a very long time – over 30 years, on and off – at a number of firms, of all different sizes and qualities, and so have been working with pretty much the whole gamut of ATE providers for most of that time.
I would like to say that Temple is, entirely sincerely, the best of those that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I feel that both sides in our current relationship have worked very hard to foster that relationship and, in my view, this has borne substantial fruit for both of our firms.
The basis of this view includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
- The delegated authority scheme is reasonable, flexible and, via TOPS, extremely easy to use.
- Very importantly too, unlike many other ATE providers I have known, the reporting requirements are sensible and not at all onerous
- Applying for and obtaining bespoke polices, where the delegated scheme does not apply, is also pleasantly straightforward and, in my personal experience, always reasonable and positive; and;
- Without exception, the staff that I have dealt with, at all levels, are always reasonable, friendly, practical and accommodating.
In all seriousness, I can say with complete sincerity that I think the point our respective firms have reached these days is a very good, pleasant and mutually helpful, profitable and respectful one. I look forward to many more fruitful years to come. Thanks to you and the rest of Temple’s staff.”
