Testimonials

Field Disposals Limited

“RT Coopers were first engaged by Field Disposals Ltd in 2007 to help clarify its legal position in an abandoned tender with the Ministry of Defence. We were assigned a senior partner of the firm called Rosanna Cooper. She showed a high level of understanding to this complex and difficult situation. A report was commissioned by us in 2010 which was very thorough and detailed and the advice given proved in time to be very valuable as we re-competed with RT Coopers help and won this very valuable contract. We have been in business for twenty years and formed many professional relationships. RT Coopers is considered by Field as highly respectable and we are proud to be associated with them. They have a smooth approach but command focus when needed. Overall we have found the firm and particularly Rosanna to be helpful, professional and attentive at all times” Michael Dipple, Managing Director
