From the moment we met Melissa Davis and her team at MD Communications we knew that there was synergy between their approach to building long-term partnering relationships and that of Paris Smith. It was and is clear that we share the same values including in particular integrity, professionalism and trust. The strategic advice and guidance to our marketing plans including digital and PR activity has been and is first rate. They have ensured that they understand our purpose, vision and culture prior to making recommendations as to activities and structured plans. Their knowledge and the extent of their networks always impresses. MD Communications have provided numerous opportunities to us to contribute to articles in national, regional and trade media, along with speaking opportunities on the national and international stage. Melissa and her team are outstandingly reliable, accessible, responsive and very enjoyable to work with.

Peter Taylor

The strategic directories audit reports created by MD Communications have been very useful, and we are confident will transform our submissions this year.

Head of Marketing & BD

Melissa and her team at MD Communications have worked with us to help us develop our PR strategy, and have assisted with our legal marketing since we first opened our office in London. Melissa was helpful in assisting us with public relations and branding and was very much aware of our needs. We are an international law firm who really benefited from MD Communications’ experience of working with legal firms and the breadth of their expertise. I have no hesitation in recommending Melissa and her team.

Colin Jamieson

MD Communications is incredibly well connected across the legal media and wider legal marketplace. We can always rely on their clear guidance and insights. We know we have unrivalled specialist expertise; through their PR work and assistance with the legal directories.

Laura Devine

The team at MD Communications really understand the legal landscape and the media. I have always valued their advice and their skill in matching our professional expertise and knowledge to the requirements of journalists and the stories that make up the news agenda.

Zee Hussain

The whole team was very easy to work with and they were always available for further questions and clarifications even out of normal working hours and on very tight schedules. They are very knowledgeable of the whole submissions process and have teamed up greatly both with us in the Business Development Team but also with the partners in each of the areas to get the most out of them. I would definitely recommend them for their deep knowledge, kind follow up and great attention to detail.

Business Development Manager

Melissa and her team provided extensive knowledge and understanding of our campaign which inspired significant media and political interest. This led to an audience with a government minister, a local MP and interviews on national and regional television. She was incredibly sensitive to the issues which provided reassurance and confidence when dealing with the media. She created a national profile for my firm and my campaign.

Greg Almond

Lawyers are not always good at promoting themselves, strangely shy – however good they are. MD Communications can provide the words and style if you give them the material.

Gerard McDermott QC

MD Communications is one of the most media-savvy businesses working in their field. Their expertise in finding the right lawyer for the right publication or briefing shows they have a depth of excellent contacts.

Robert Verkaik

The team at MD Communications knows what journalists want and is skilled at providing knowledgeable commentators at short notice when deadlines are bearing down. Years of experience with the legal profession means the MD team also actively produces valuable ideas and leads in what can be a complex field for reporters.

Jonathan Ames

I have found MD Communications to be a highly professional team, as knowledgeable about their clients as they are about the demands of modern journalism. Above all, though, they are good fun and a pleasure to deal with.

Sean O’Grady

The team at MD Communications has the required instinct to know what is – and is not – a story and understands journalistic imperatives very well. Melissa and her team also understand how to get her clients media coverage, partly because Melissa has such deep and valuable experience of all aspects of the legal media and public affairs scene.

Paul Rogerson

MD Communications, specialising in the legal sector… has already scooped a number of top clients. Davis, who was highly popular both at the Law Society and outside it, is of course brilliantly placed after years of press-handling and dealing with solicitors up and down England and Wales

Frances Gibb

MD Communications is a great and well-deserved success.
