Carla Murray

Tagged solicitor Carla Murray

As a new founder stepping into external legal counsel for the first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I run a niche business, and it was really important to me that whoever I worked with actually understood not just the legal side, but the vision, direction, and specific needs of what I’m building. From the very first conversation, she completely got it. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, asked the right questions, and translated complex legal points into clear, practical guidance that made sense for my stage of growth. I never once felt overwhelmed or out of my depth, which, as a first-time founder with some legal knowledge massively helped make the process really efficient I felt supported, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout. For something that initially felt daunting, the experience couldn’t have gone smoother. It gave me real confidence as I take the next steps in growing my business. An easy 5-star service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla to any founder, especially those taking their first step into external legal support.

Elinor Hind

Tagged solicitor Elinor Hind

I have been in the property business for over 30 years, and I have used various solicitor firms from London to Edinburgh. However I have never come across such professional, helpful, and efficient solicitors such as Anna and Elinor. They provided me with a wonderful service and were caring towards my needs. They re-wrote the articles of my company and went over and beyond to sort my issues out. They also did a PG certificate. These 2 ladies are the jewel in the crown of your firm and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. If I was looking at employing solicitors myself, I wouldn't hesitate in giving these 2 ladies a job.

Mohammed Rahman

Tagged solicitor Mohammed Rahman

We are purchasing in a company name using another solicitor. They told us last minute that we need to use another Solicitor and give a Personal Guarantee. Mohammed was recommended and he explained the reasons why we needed it. Why the broker or their referral solicitor couldn't explain this to us earlier, I do not know. BMTC dealt with it last minute and Mohammed treated us like humans and not just throwing complicated jargon at us. We managed to complete on target despite this being thrown at us last minute. Thank you

All of the members of the Walker Foster team that I have dealt with were completely professional and supportive of my requirements. I was provided with sound advice and cannot recommend them highly enough.
