    Business Start Up Contracting Support

    I worked with James at Gardner Leader to help me create a set of contract templates to use for my new marketing business. I need a few options tailored to the level and length of services I provided. James and his team were great at taking my requests and tailoring them into my contracts so I now have them ready to roll. It has given me peace of mind to know my agreements have been put together by an expert with the specifics of my business built in to protect me and my clients.

    Helped me get a new clinet

    I had to get a DPA done as part of checks that a client requested from me. This was before they signed and paid for my services, so I need this done quickly. Given the fact I work in an emerging sector I got a DPA within 7 working days and was able to get my client over the line.

    Above and Beyond!

    James has been incredibly helpful and flexible with a recent review of a complex framework agreement that was required with a very fast turnaround. Not only was James very clear, open and understanding about our commercial objectives, but helped us understand the nuances of legal phrasing and the associated risks for consideration. With calls and discussions that often ran late into the evening, we were very happy with the final outcome, which was successful for our team. We highly recommend, and hope to work with James again soon.

    Genuinely caring, professional, practical service

    Michael supported me through a business contract dispute where I was being bullied by a large corporation. His advice went above and beyond and gave me an honest and realistic view of the situation. He took the time to go through all of the options and the contracts in detail and advised me as to how I could best go about tackling the issue. After some persistence it paid off – I won without having to go to court which has been game-changing for my business. Michael genuinely cared and followed up several times to ensure everything was OK. Thank you Michael for your support!

      I can't thank Phil enough for his support and professionalism throughout my case. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and provided excellent advice and reassurance during what was a very stressful time. I always felt that I was being listened to and my best interests were being looked after, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing legal assistance.

      I instructed Philip to give guidance and representation on a minor community resolution. We had one face to face meeting whereby he explained the situation fully and advised the best way forward to a quick and satisfactory resolution. A few subsequent phone calls on progress and the matter was resolved. Philip was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process.

      Best legal support

      I had a minor car accident and was lost in how I should handle it being newly relocated to the UK. Phil had been very helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable, and super responsive throughout and provide ease of mind by providing me with clear expectation of steps, approach and possible outcomes. My case was resolved with best outcome I had prepared for. I really appreciate Phil's professional support. Would definitely recommend to whoever needs to engage a criminal lawyer's service.
