Redundancy

Gaby was very informative and guided me through the process. She was also very patient when my former company failed to make a due payment on time, which we had to chase until it wax finally settled.

Excellent Support Throughout

I had a very positive experience with Hermione regarding a business settlement matter. From the outset, they were extremely helpful, confident, informative and professional. They explained everything clearly and gave me reassurance throughout the process, making sure I understood my position and that my interests were protected. I felt very well supported and would happily recommend their services.

Exceptional service

I was let down by another firms representative and last minute asked for Hermione’s support with an imminent deadline. The experience between her service and the last solicitor I spoke with was night and day - she was empathetic, personable and reassuring during a stressful time. She took the time to run through everything so I understood it clearly, she made herself available and managed to close out my case with better terms and on time. Hermione was a life saver and is an asset to Gaby.

Hermoine Porter was absolutely outstanding. Her and her assistant were kind, understanding and extremely calming in a very stressful situation. Their service and the support and guidance from Paul Maynard was outstanding and the outcome was extremely positive. They worked hard and I can’t thank Hermoine, Paul and the team enough. Above 5* service and true customer service excellence.

In what initially proved to be a daunting and traumatic experience from a former employer involving a restrictive covenant I contacted Gaby Hardwicke after being recommended to use them. Paul Maynard's expert professional guidance throughout together with clear recommendations and choices made the whole process far easier. And a satisfactory conclusion was reached. I would not not hesitate to recommend both Paul and Gaby Hardwicke. Ian J Dyer- New Era Technical Consulting

Excellent advice on a complex and sensitive matter. Pragmatic, clear and always focused on what would actually work for the business. Always available when we needed them, which made a difficult situation far less stressful than it could have been. Highly recommended.

This matter involved a notarial service handled by one of our Partners and included drafting affidavits from scratch, not simply witnessing pre-prepared documents. Preparing and reviewing bespoke documents requires careful consideration, time, and compliance with strict regulatory obligations, including anti–money laundering requirements. Our service reflects the level of seniority, responsibility, and professional standards we maintain.
