Harender Branch

Tagged solicitor Harender Branch

I would most definitely recommend Branch Austin McCormick LLP. All stakeholders were looking at an exit strategy and successful sale of our company. I must say Harender and her team guided us through the process from start to finish and always there to answer any questions and protect our interest from start to finish.

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.

Arj Arul

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul

I can't recommend Arj and his team highly enough - compared to many other lawyers and law firms I've worked with they're a pleasure: responsive, clear, intelligent, knowledgable, pragmatic, empathetic and humane, and great value for money. The services they've provided in our 'start up' years have been perfectly suited to a small team.

Andy Herricks

Tagged solicitor Andy Herricks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I instructed Andy to help put proper governance arrangements in place for a long-established family land-holding company. The work involved preparing a Shareholders' Agreement and advising on a number of complex issues around share transfers, succession, minority protection and company governance. Throughout the process, Andy was knowledgeable, responsive and patient in answering what was, at times, a long list of questions. He took the time to explain the legal principles behind the drafting, challenged historic practices where necessary, and helped us reach a practical solution that protects both the company and its shareholders. I particularly appreciated that he welcomed questions and provided clear explanations, enabling us to make informed decisions rather than simply accepting legal wording at face value. We're now in a much stronger governance position than when we started and have a Shareholders' Agreement that is tailored to our company and its future. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Andy and Clough & Willis for corporate and shareholder legal advice.
