Testimonials

"We were very impressed with both the speed and quality of the Sharpe Edge response to a difficult question and would definitely recommend the new platform."

“Following a question raised in relation to the ability to recover costs from third parties, the Sharpe Edge service provided a most prompt and valuable response to a very specific point whereupon such advice is now being incorporated into the Council’s fees and charges policy. Would most certainly recommend Sharpe Edge.”
