Outstanding experience with Truelegal for a complicated share purchase of an asset, planned to be hived up. The brief was understood totally which was a breath of fresh air. Martin was always available to clarify items and got the deal completed when at times it looked like it all may come undone. It was also convenient to be able to get the PG done in house as well. I would also like to give thanks to Alison, Martins Secretary, for our regular phone calls.

Excellent service and positive overall experience

I have used TrueLegal solicitors services early this year to assist me while selling my limited company and Martin Truman excelled at providing the type of advice and assistance I was looking for. He has been key to me all the way through, drove important meetings and vouched for points relevant to me while shaping the deal in a very sensible way. I would use his services again and can only recommend them to anyone reading.

The long road to selling up

As a small business owner, with 20 years under my belt and a great deal of self-sacrifice to ensure a successful company, it's a big step to selling your business. After taking advice from my agent I selected True Legal to act on my behalf and they were both extremely professional and friendly at the same time! There is a huge amount of legal 'speak' involved and my solicitor was was extraordinarily helpful in explaining and how to do things and cutting through all the jargon to simplify matters.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review Iris. We are delighted that you and Murray can now make plans for a "business-free" retirement. 38 years is an impressive length of time to operate the same business in today's world. And it is great to see that your legacy will continue under the new owners.

An obvious statement but selling a business isn't an easy process. However, if it's not something you've done before it would be easy to think it's straightforward. It's not. When we first approached Martin he took the time to listen to our story and then asked probing but essential questions that soon helped us see the reality of what was before us. Martin guided us through every step, he was there for us when the process got challenging and most importantly his legal advice was top notch. Martin is more than a solicitor; he's a solicitor who has the human touch and who understands the emotions the seller goes through and then stands by your side. Selling our business had its challenges but Martin was always on the end of the phone to guide us. He worked tirelessly with the buyers solicitors to get the result we needed. We couldn't have done it without Martin. A top guy who looks after you.

Thank you for your positive feedback Dave. It was a pleasure to work alongside you and your family shareholders to ensure your retirement-sale was as smooth as it could be. You were a model due diligence "assistant". Best wishes for your retirement and spending more time with the grandchildren when not travelling... The Truelegal team

Martin and his team supported us through the sale of our soft play business in Northamptonshire recently. Their advice & guidance through the whole process was thorough and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services or using them again in the future. A "True" pleasure to deal with.

I cannot express enough how pleased we were with the service provided by True Legal. Extremely thorough, comprehensive and professional in all the work they conducted for us. Worked as quickly as possible and were very patient when there were severe delays on the other end. True Legal charge a fixed cost and it is every bit worth the money.

Thank you Najeha for your feedback. Congratulations on the purchase of your Indian restaurant. There are often hurdles to overcome in a transaction; and we are glad James Moores was able to resolve them for you. Good luck with the business.

Truelegal was recommended to us by a broker after our solicitor left us in the lurch mid way through a deal. Martin stepped in, picked up the reigns and eventually completed the sale of our London based business. He was a pleasure to deal with, kept us informed of how things were progressing and was decent enough to keep to the fee we agreed at the outset - even though there was a lot more work involved than originally expected and we are very grateful for that. We would highly recommend Truelegal because they are knowledgeable in their field and it was easy to meet with Martin because although Exeter based he is often in London. Thank you, Martin.

Thank you Susan. The complexities of a share sale are often underestimated and tricky to price in advance with a fixed fee, but Truelegal were happy to honour that. I'm glad the face-to-face meetings in London worked for you. Good luck with your next venture(s).

Professional and approachable

Martin was very professional, approachable and calm and helped smooth my journey through my small business sale. He had a very practical and balanced attitude guiding me through all the legal jargon in a way that made it understandable. His communications were good and he responded quickly to any queries I had. A fixed price quoted at the beginning was also helpful. I would not hesitate o recommend him and Truelegal.

Update Nov 2024 As part of my ongoing relationship with Martin, I required a change to an existing lease that he drafted. After numerous attempts to contact him, I received no response, and was left with no alternative but to seek a new solicitor. I do not know why he has not responded to my attempts to contact him, and it may be because of some legitimate reason such as injury. However this is not the first time this has happened, as I have been working with Martin for over 10 years. There was a period in the past where he simply stopped responding to my messages, however I thought we resolved this hence my review below. Based on this past experience I am assuming that he is able to respond to me but chooses not to. If this is the case then clearly it is unprofessional and unworkable. All of this is a great shame as he is a good solicitor, except for this unexplained lack of contact. Nov 2023 - Martin Truman provided the solutions I needed quickly, and efficiently. I was able to reach him on the phone or by email without delays, the work was done swiftly without legal complication, and I felt confidence in his work. Given that all of this was carried out at a very reasonable price, I cannot fault his service in any way, and would recommend him to others.
