Professional and Highly Recommendable

I was recommended to Paris Smith and Michael Moore several years ago, and I have never been disappointed with the service, expertise and professionalism they have provided throughout my dealings with them. They were engaged to guide me through the process of successfully exiting my business, a journey that inevitably presents a number of challenges and hurdles that can be daunting fir any business owner. Throughout the process, Michael Moore and Alex Pegg provided the business with clear, concise and highly knowledgeable advice, drawing on their extensive experience and expertise in this area. Their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to navigate what can be a complex and demanding process instilled me with considerable confidence. They were always approachable, responsive and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone seeking expertise and support within the commercial arena.

We needed a locally based solicitor with commercial experience to work on a challenge. Our accountant recommended Paris Smith and I opened contact with Chris Holliss who listened to the brief and assigned Christina Spiers. The matter was heavily IT based and our initial concern that no one would understand the technology and "language" was soon overcome, Christina drafted documentation that was excellent and showed she clearly comprehended the issues. Working with Paris Smith has been a delight and provided a satisfactory outcome. Based upon our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We recently engaged Paris Smith LLP and Jonathan Roy to review a Management Buyout of our then employer, STR Ltd, one of the largest and most established Recruitment Agencies in Portsmouth. Acting on behalf of the buyers, Jonathans level of advice, speed and accuracy on everything was fantastic. I know we aren't the only client of Paris Smith, but it certainly felt like it at times. Correspondences coming through at all hours, even over the weekend. Due to his support we were able to navigate the MBO relatively pain free and get it over the line. The new owners of STR Ltd are very pleased we had Paris Smith LLC in our corner.

Compassion & integrity

Grace assisted me earlier this year when I experienced an employment situation I never expected to face, after 30 years of loyal service I was in resettlement negotiations with my employer when I was invited to attend a private conversation. I had already been talking to Grace regards the resettlement from the US back to the UK when the conversation was integrated. Grace immediately called me back & was true compassion & integrity guided us through the whole negotiation process with experienced sound advice & a "we will win" attitude which in our time of need exactly the support we needed. I cannot recommend Grace highly enough & praise her professionalism, manner & overall goodness. We will be forever thankful for all her help & wish her a bright long lasting career!

Housing & Property

Great first time buying experience

I was recommended Delicia by a friend and was not disappointed. She and her firm were responsive and proactive - I never had to chase them for anything. Although the purchase process had some hiccoughs, I was reassured by their attention to detail and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else. Possibly not the cheapest out there, but you get what you pay for and I wouldn't want to save on this sort of thing if it meant poorer service. I've heard stories from friends of mistakes in the documents their solicitors provided them, but I had no such experience with Paris Smith, everything was great.
