Bill and Claire did a great job coordinating and going through our sales and purchase. We had a super aggressive timeline but they pulled it off despite a few setbacks on the way. Fully recommend them to anyone.

We required an urgent legal opinion for a firm of solicitors in Japan. Despite the complications Harender and her colleague Francis delivered our request speedily and efficiently which resulted in an extremely successful Japanese contract for my client. I would heartedly recommend this firm.

Kirsty Trevis

Tagged solicitor Kirsty Trevis

This was actually my 10th property move since 1969. I can honestly say that I have found Kirsty Trevis the best I have encountered. And not only her; there were odd occasions when she had to be absent but other very well qualified Maitland Walker staff were available to stand in. No hesitation in recommending.
