Excellent counsel and timely delivery

I used Lanyon Bowdler to advise me on a share buyback/exit agreement and employee contract, having worked with them previously on share agreements and company transactions twice before. With both Ed and John, as ever their counsel was thorough and comprehensive, they were proactively responsive as well as available to me as and when required through the process to ensure deadlines were met.

Very Helpful - Assistance provided in a clear and concise way

I sought assistance from Lanyon Bowdler, with regard to a Redundancy matter. I was put through to John Merry - just the sort of person that you'd like to deal with, in any sphere of life. He acted with promptness and efficiency; he also explained things in a jargon-free manner, so that I could easily understand the primary issues and how they would be best resolved. He kept me updated by a phone call and a couple of emails and matters were sorted to my full satisfaction. If Carlsberg did Law, they probably have John Merry working for them. Full marks to him and to Lanyon Bowdler LLP.
