Commercial Property

Commercial Lease

We were faced with the need to resolve a particularly complex lease surrender whilst also negotiating a new lease with a professional landlord who's legal representative was somewhat inflexible. Although the long drawn out process of negotiations was far more tortuous than necessary we are most grateful to Emily for her excellent management of the entire legal processes from start to finish, for bringing clarity to the complexities and for providing a true 'hand-holding' service.

Employment Severance Support

I received a severance offer from my employer in advance of retirement and that required the appointment of my own solicitor to ensure that all of the terms and conditions within the offer were fully understood prior to acceptance, to fully protect my own and my employer's interests.

Outstanding Service from Carly Johnson and the CWJ Team

Excellent service from Carly Johnson at Clarkson Wright & Jakes. Carly was professional, knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the purchase of my new home. Communication was always prompt, everything was explained clearly and the whole transaction was handled efficiently from start to finish. Buying a property can be stressful, but Carly made the process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Carly and the team at CWJ to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you again for all your help!

It was a relatively simple settlement agreement for the end of my employment. Faye did a thorough and pragmatic job reviewing it and advising me on the appropriate changes to be made at relatively short notice.

I would highly recommend Alison for her outstanding support during my divorce proceedings. She handled my case in a highly professional and expert manner from start to finish, always making me feel that everything was under control and being managed effectively. Alison's communication was excellent throughout the process and she responded promptly to any queries and kept me informed with regular correspondence, which provided great reassurance during what could be a stressful time. Alison's knowledge, professionalism and supportive approach made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison to anyone seeking a skilled an reliable solicitor.

I recently used this firm to handle my deed of separation, which began as a cohabitation agreement. From start to finish, I felt in very safe hands. Every query I had was answered clearly and thoroughly and I was always pointed in the right direction. The service was quick and efficient, the advice was sound, and, most importantly, I felt genuinely reassured throughout the whole process. The support I received made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

In seeking professional legal advice regarding complicated issues, it was important to me to have such complications clearly explained in a manner which I could grasp and therefore be able to make an informed decision. Grace Clarke was able to do this which gave me confidence in her abilities.
