Atif Nazir

Tagged solicitor Atif Nazir

Represented by Atif Nazir, I had a very tricky and upsetting personal situation to deal with in which both myself and a relative who is terminally ill were being sued. Given the circumstances, it was a very emotional and distressing time for us all, and despite being made aware of the situation, the other side pursued the case relentlessly right through to the end, leaving the relative incredibly distressed on several occasions and our family with serious concerns as to his welfare. This was a large corporate fish taking on two small fish. Atif guided me expertly through the process, nothing was too much trouble, he was very reasonable, personable and incredibly patient and understanding. Ultimately we were successful in getting the application dismissed and recovering costs. I would not hesitate to recommend him and he would certainly be my first choice if I was to need corporate advice or representation again.

Alice Trainor

Tagged solicitor Alice Trainor

Alice and James listened carefully to what to us was a complex and risky situation for our small charity. The drew out the facts of the case from us, analyzed the legal position and devised a strategy. They represented us most effectively with the other party, and as a result a negotiated and acceptable resolution was secured, with their great help in implementation. We were grateful for their expertise and commitment.
