We were recommended to contact Ashton at Fisher Jones Greenwood to help with a company re-structure. Ashton was professional and worked to an excellent standard throughout the whole project. I would definitely recommend his services to others in the future.

Marneya Chauhan

Tagged solicitor Marneya Chauhan

Excellent service, amazing people. I used Rothera Bray for the sale of my business. I dealt with Marneya Chauhan and Liz Mills. I cannot fault them. Both of them were quite simply outstanding. I would whole- heartedly recommend them and the firm to anyone needing Legal advice or selling their business.

Our estate agent recommended Elite Law to me and I am very happy they did. Joseph and the team at Elite Law were professional and friendly. They went the extra mile to ensure our sale and purchase got over the line just before Christmas.

Have been using SM with a number of years and simply cannot fault their dedicated approach, each transaction has been completed successfully within expected timescales and kept up to date at all times - operate with highly qualified individuals who have not yet let me down in any way, I would not think of going elsewhere for the simple reasons SM say what they are going to do and I have grown to place 100% trust with them and they have always acted with my business's best interest - thank you SM for all you have done for my business

Jack Stevens

Tagged solicitor Jack Stevens

Jack has acted professional in a very short period of time on all aspects of the reactive support for Armtrac. He has remained calm and logical on all areas when there has been pressure exerted by the solicitor from the other parties. It is clear he has had a solid grounding with a good level of experience in similar cases. It would appear he is very comfortable with his ability and also when to seek guidance from partners to ensure Armtrac has received the best guidance in a compressed period. It is my first experience of working or engaging with Ashtons and from a first impression, Jack has been a true ambassador for your organisation, I have already mentioned to Jack post this case. I would very much like to follow up and meet to understand the capabilities of Ashtons as Armtrac executes on its growth plan and transition as a business to see how we can be utilise your services. Thank you

Amanda BrockwellClaudia Mihai

Tagged solicitors Amanda Brockwell and Claudia Mihai

This was a really complex series of transactions; there was a lot going on and all aspects needed careful organisation and planning. Amanda has been with us from start-up and both she and Claudia were instrumental in managing that and worked with a number of different advisers and stakeholders to ensure the smooth running of the various transactions. This would not have been possible were it not for their knowledge of our business, us as a group of shareholders and their insight, experience and adaptability. I cannot recommend them highly enough

Carla Tirrell

Tagged solicitor Carla Tirrell

I called my solicitor in Ely, who wasn't able to offer this service at the time, and recommended Fraser Dawbarns to deal with my mortgage. I called and spoke to Carla Tirrell, who was understanding, and explained all of the costs and process so clearly and precise. The whole process was made simple, and explained fully at every step, in a very professional way throughout. Overall a totally satisfying process from start to finish.
