Best value for the client’s fees

Working in particular with Chris Holliss, we have been able to achieve settlements on a number of large matters before the clients have had to incur the expense and stress of issuing or defending proceedings in court. Those matters that have reached court, are conducted effectively and always with regard to providing the best value for the client’s fees.

Exemplary Service

Chris and his team are excellent and I could not recommend them highly enough. I was introduced to him some time back and he became an integral part of our team, very quickly. A solid practitioner with a very relevant and comprehensive knowledge of the law and a keen sense of humour. Nothing is too much trouble and he always responds when you need him.

We needed a locally based solicitor with commercial experience to work on a challenge. Our accountant recommended Paris Smith and I opened contact with Chris Holliss who listened to the brief and assigned Christina Spiers. The matter was heavily IT based and our initial concern that no one would understand the technology and "language" was soon overcome, Christina drafted documentation that was excellent and showed she clearly comprehended the issues. Working with Paris Smith has been a delight and provided a satisfactory outcome. Based upon our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

If you're looking for that professional service with a personal touch, look no further than Paris Smith. I have personally worked with Christina Spiers and Chris Holliss on a commercial basis, and both bring a wealth of experience, guidance and advice to everything that's required. They are efficient and timely, and in this modern world of automation, they remind you that people and relationships are key to everything we do. By far the best service I've ever received and I will be using their expertise forever more. I'd also like to commend the services of Harriet Ho of Lamb Chambers who was appointed on our behalf. A very thorough and able Counsel, it's clear why Paris Smith have established an association with such a competent business.
