Clients described Mr. Powell to Chambers as "A charismatic lawyer with terrific business sense", "practical and savvy", an "enjoyable, hard-working and client-friendly" advisor who knows competition law, who "takes a case and makes it his own.

With regard to Legal 500, clients single out Mark Powell for praise: "Very knowledgeable with a pragmatic and commercial approach," "his convincing style and self-confidence make us feel comfortable.
