"For some the leading insolvency lawyer in East Anglia." [Legal 500 2011]

Adam McCaw is widely praised by sources, who say his "attention to detail is second to none."  [Chambers UK 2012]

“Adam McCaw has broad insolvency skills and is a talented and effective operator.” [Chambers UK 2010]

The 2009 version of Chambers UK notes that he is a “highly sensible lawyer” and the 2008 edition adds that, "the pleasant Adam McCaw is recognised both for his contentious and non-contentious work, where it is felt he excels on technical issues".

Clients too “can’t speak highly enough of Adam McCaw – an asset to Leathes Prior”.
