Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Tagged solicitor Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Over the past 6 months I have had the legal support I needed from Michael Feakes. Michael keeps legal matters simple. He helped me with several contracts and updated our terms online. From the outset, I found Michael to be very knowledgeable and informative in the way he made sure he captured our requirements. He quickly gets to the point to ensure our legal documents are clear, concise, and most importantly – say what we mean. In summary I found Michael to be incredibly customer focussed delivering professional legal advice for a competitive price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Feakes & Co to any prospective client.
