What do our clients say about our corporate solicitors in London?

“We have worked with Neil and his colleagues on a number of different company issues including business acquisitions, client contract and employment matters. Neil and his team have always provided very professional help and have been very efficient in meeting our needs. We would highly recommend Neil and his team.”
Dave Dadds CEO DRD Communications Ltd

“We have been working with Neil for many years now, more recently on a retained basis because he has become someone we trust and who understands our business requirements. Neil has proven himself to be incredibly adaptable and has always been our go-to person for the more complex commercial agreements we have had to put in place. Neil is relaxed, engaging but also very professional and can lend his breadth of experience to provide considered opinion to many different areas of law. But it’s his detailed analysis and instinctive assessment of a commercial scenario and his ability to get to grips with the business requirement, the causes and effects that make him an invaluable sounding board for us.”Rupert Wood CEO Wasteland Ski Ltd

“Neil is able to address complex issues, give us advice that we can follow and come up with creative solutions. He adapts quickly to new challenges. He is a great person to have on our team.”
