Solutions focused legal advice

Gearalt is always there to offer solutions focused legal advice when dealing with complex issues. Gearalt really understands our business and that greatly assists when instructing him on new matters – I always know that I can rely on him to understand the problem (which are usually complex) and provide sound, easy to follow advice which yields successful results.

Practical and robust solutions

It is Rizwana’s ability to work though complex issues and develop practical and robust solutions that, in my mind, make her work so dependable. It is this dependability and her pragmatic approach to each case which has, over the years, become a trademark of Rizwana’s work.

Intelligent and thorough

Thea has been my first point of contact throughout a most trying time, her control and management of our actions has been in my opinion at all times intelligent and thorough. To describe Thea’s performance as efficient and/or professional would not begin to tell the story because as a client involved in these types of proceedings you need so much more and it is there that Thea delivered.

Sensible and reasonable

Victoria gets to the underlying issues of a case quickly and efficiently. Her advice is always concise and she summarises highly technical points in understandable terms for non-solicitors. Her temperament and manner mean that even the other side find Victoria a sensible and reasonable person to deal with.

We’re extremely grateful

We’re extremely grateful to have had the expertise of the real estate and construction teams at Gateley Legal. Simply, they got on and delivered what was needed in a complicated and challenging transaction. They were practical and clear and their solutions driven approach to managing multiple parties and resolving complicated issues was instrumental in ensuring that the deal happened in such unprecedented times. Their dedication and commitment was both clear and refreshing.

Highly experienced, extremely diligent

Sarah has led us through two rounds of financing and has proven to be highly experienced, extremely diligent and has the great ability to explain complicated documents to her clients in plain English. She is always available to her clients and manages to juggle their needs with the, often extreme, demands of the deal.

About this branch

Description

Located in the heart of the city centre, we have more than 200 professionals based in Manchester with both our Gateley Legal and Entrust businesses operating from here. Founded in Victorian Birmingham, Gateley has changed a lot over the intervening years. Our address list has grown and we have welcomed new offices and teams to the Gateley family. Our clients have changed and we have moved with them. We work with clients from start-ups and SMEs through to large corporates and public sector organisations. What has stayed the same has been our focus on helping our clients to thrive and prosper. That commercial, entrepreneurial spirit goes to the heart of our business and shapes our story.
