Bilal RazaOwais Rashid

Tagged solicitors Bilal Raza and Owais Rashid

I had an excellent experience with this firm of solicitors who dealt with a civil litigation matter of mine. Mr Bilal Raza and Mr Owais Rashid handled my case with professionalism, efficiency, and great attention to detail throughout the entire process. They were always responsive, kept me updated at every stage, and made what can often be a stressful process smooth and straightforward. I am extremely satisfied with the level of service I received and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and professional legal assistance.

Kerry Pardoe

Tagged solicitor Kerry Pardoe

I have had the pleasure, and I mean that, of being supported by Kerry Pardoe and Sally Searle over the last couple of years on some simple and not so simple transactions and they have consistently been responsive, engaged, patient and most of all for me - very kind. If they say they will do something then they do and they do it well. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I have to say the only bit I am disappointed about is that our work together is now concluded - makes me want to buy something else just so I can keep dealing with them!!!

Richard Robinson

Tagged solicitor Richard Robinson

I have experience of Napthens as both a professional services firm , working alongside Napthens on corporate restructuring projects, as well as first hand as a client (as they advised on our own corporate holdings company structure). I find Napthens to be hugely knowledgeable and extremely efficient. Both qualities are hugely important in our fast paced professional services world. In particular I have worked closely with Richard Robinson and Charlotte Walsh, and would highly recommend the services of both.

David and his team advised us as buy-in investors to acquire two companies in the packaging sector. It was a complex deal involving two connected but separate acquisitions and financing from six separate lenders. He and his team were excellent.

Sam and Aishah at Winston Solicitors were great, they really applied the gas when the pressure was on to complete. I was updated regularly throughout the whole process without having to chase too much. The due diligence was very thorough to ensure I was protected, this helped put me at ease at this stressful time. In total this took around 10 weeks from start to completion, overall I was very happy with the service Thank you Winston Solicitors.
