“Lydian lawyers have a very high level of technical knowledge and practical know-how derived from their experience. Such experience greatly contributes to solving problems and ‘deadlocks’. A good legal day-to-day management of an asset like Pegasus Park, demands a high-quality law firm. We get that quality from Lydian.”
