We needed a locally based solicitor with commercial experience to work on a challenge. Our accountant recommended Paris Smith and I opened contact with Chris Holliss who listened to the brief and assigned Christina Spiers. The matter was heavily IT based and our initial concern that no one would understand the technology and "language" was soon overcome, Christina drafted documentation that was excellent and showed she clearly comprehended the issues. Working with Paris Smith has been a delight and provided a satisfactory outcome. Based upon our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I have worked with Couchman Hanson for a number of years across multiple businesses, and I cannot speak highly enough of the team. They have supported us across a wide range of matters, from legal disputes and general commercial advice through to structuring and negotiating complex commercial contracts, shareholder arrangements, software agreements and other legal documentation. Daniel, the owner, is incredibly experienced and commercially minded. His advice and guidance have been hugely valuable to me and my businesses over the years. He has an excellent ability to understand not only the legal position, but also the wider commercial objectives and what we are actually trying to achieve. Jim has also been brilliant across a number of appointments and matters, providing pragmatic, clear and commercially sensible advice, while Clare has done an excellent job preparing and executing contracts and agreements for our software businesses. What particularly stands out about Couchman Hanson is their ability to quickly understand a business, identify what support is actually required and then get on with delivering it. They are responsive, practical and genuinely feel like an extension of our own team rather than simply external lawyers. The service across the entire firm has been phenomenal, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Couchman Hanson to any business looking for experienced, commercially focused legal support. A fantastic team and a firm I greatly value working with.
