Emily MacNiven

Tagged solicitor Emily MacNiven

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emily MacNiven as the lead solicitor for the sale of our business and more generally with Downs as a firm. She was exceptionally efficient, very personable and clearly skilful at her job. She acted very professionally at all times and did a great job at protecting our interests and advising us where necessary while keeping things on track. We always felt reassured that she had everything under control, allowing us to continue to focus on running our business while the sale process was going on. Thank you.
