Paul Herbert

Tagged solicitor Paul Herbert

Burnett Barker are my solicitors of choice, and I have had only good experiences using their services. I have benefited from their expertise in areas as diverse as commercial disputes, nuisance and conveyancing, and rate them very highly. Paul Herbert in particular has provided skilled, prompt and user-friendly support in the last twelve months, and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Keith Melling

Tagged solicitor Keith Melling

Keith Melling and his team have provided invaluable guidance to Next Generation Travel on a wide range of matters, from company formation to management share incentive schemes, acquisitions, and complex issues like trademark infringements. Their advice is always clear, comprehensive and tailored to our business needs, allowing us to navigate legal challenges with confidence. We have worked with major Manchester based law firms in the past, but the level of service and expertise we receive from Napthens, under the leadership of Keith, rival those of much larger firms, and at a much more competitive price.

I must give my feedback/review for services provided by Stephen and Sarah at Longden Walker & renney solicitors. Stephen is highly professional and absolute friendly at the same time.
