Having dealt with Gardner Leader previously and being 100% satisfied with the service provided and the outcome. I find again that I needed legal help, this again was a very satisfactory experience, the courtesy and professionalism extended was excellent, I would commend Gardner Leader to those looking for any legal advice, whatever the circumstances they will have the experts to assist and deliver.

Alastair was very helpful, he took time initially to explain the process and was available to answer our questions. He communicated very well and was very considerate. When, for personal reasons we decided not to proceed, Alastair was very obliging and offered to advise us further if required.

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

Although the process of gathering information and writing the letter of claim was exhausting and at times frustrating due to my having to continually proof-read and edit everything, overall I was impressed by the teams' (Fransesca, Marianne and Alastair) empathy, skill and ability to navigate mediation. Everything was explained and Alastair shared his expertise through both his use of strategy and openness to listen. I felt supported throughout this process.

My legal team were fantastic with me from beginning to end. Always making sure I was well informed and making g the right decision. I have a brain injury so I require a lot of patience and explaining repeatedly. The team were amazing with this. We also found meeting in person was more beneficial to me to understand my complex case. I thank the team for all they did to insure I received everything I deserved and was owed. It was a long 4 years to the day, but we did it.

Alastair Goggins and his broader team provided excellent support and a successful conclusion to a very intractable case. He responded very effectively to changing requirements as the case developed, bringing in Ashleigh Wong as the main point of contact in the latter phases whilst keeping careful oversight. I would have no hesitation recommending Alastair and his team to others. Ashleigh Wong was superb to deal with during the latter phases of the case, I found her to be very responsive to the changing requirements that the case demanded and very much appreciated the interactions that we had as we navigated towards a successful conclusion.
