TUPE & Contract advice

Ran into an issue with a client who we believed terminated a contract incorrectly and avoided TUPE responsibilities. SH guided me through the legal stance allowing me to make an informed decision on my next move.

Founders legal Journey

As a new founder stepping into external legal counsel for the first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I run a niche business, and it was really important to me that whoever I worked with actually understood not just the legal side, but the vision, direction, and specific needs of what I’m building. From the very first conversation, she completely got it. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, asked the right questions, and translated complex legal points into clear, practical guidance that made sense for my stage of growth. I never once felt overwhelmed or out of my depth, which, as a first-time founder with some legal knowledge massively helped make the process really efficient I felt supported, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout. For something that initially felt daunting, the experience couldn’t have gone smoother. It gave me real confidence as I take the next steps in growing my business. An easy 5-star service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla to any founder, especially those taking their first step into external legal support.

Transfer of property’s

Very professional solicitor but also very helpful & friendly to deal with . Helen helped us to put a little pressure on my brothers by asking for them to agree to what we had in our business account was to be split three way between the three brothers & to agree to the figure I had got it too before the exchange of contracts . Which by doing so it helped to bring the business to a amicable conclusion in a roundabout way so Helen did a good professional job on the transfer of properties which was quite complex because of there being 3 residential properties & 1 commercial property plus some of the property’s were the wife’s as well so as I say it was. quite complex

Exceeded my Expectations

I would like to formally express my sincere appreciation to Anthony Le for his exceptional support, professionalism and unwavering commitment throughout the handling of a highly challenging and ethically complex litigation matter involving one of our clients. I first engaged with Anthony in August 2023 to discuss concerns relating to a long standing dispute with one of our blue chip clients in Manchester. This matter has spanned approximately two and a half years with extensive correspondence and escalating uncertainty. The situation had become increasingly overwhelming and the prospect of litigation was both daunting and emotionally taxing. From the outset Anthony demonstrated a clear structured and highly professional approach. He provided transparent guidance and the appropriate steps to taken ensuring that I fully understood the legal position and the strategic considerations at each stage. His calm measured manner and ability to simplify complex issues brought much needed clarity during a period of significant pressure. Over the course of more than 30 months of back and forth communication with the opposing party the process naturally became exhausting. However, Anthony’s consistent support, expertise and steady leadership made the situation manageable, allowing me to navigate each development with confidence. Ultimately, with Anthony’s guidance CSR was able to reach an out of court settlement that represented a fair and mutually beneficial outcome. This resolution not only protected our position but also brought closure to a matter that had been ongoing for far too long. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Anthony for his dedication, patience and professionalism throughout this journey. As he advised from the very beginning the process would be challenging for all involved, yet his reassurance and expertise gave me the confidence to weather the storm and approach each day with renewed perspective. On behalf of everyone at CSR we would like to thank you once again. I personally will remain in contact and we / I wish Anthony Le every success in his continued career. Thank you so much

It’s wonderful to know that his structured approach, transparency, and ability to explain each stage of the process helped bring clarity and reassurance during a prolonged and demanding period. We’re also pleased that, with his support, a fair and mutually beneficial out-of-court settlement was achieved, bringing much-needed resolution to the situation. Your kind words regarding Anthony’s dedication, patience, and steady leadership are greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to pass on your thanks and best wishes.

Support with Will & Grant of Probate

As a family who has recently lost our mum, having the support of Charlotte to guide us was invaluable. Myself and two brothers have never been in this situation before and you just hear people talk about 'probate' we were going into this blind and with lots of mixed messages and confusion. Charlotte explained the process clearly and in lay mans terms, we were given time to ask any questions and her answers gave us so much confidence in her ability to help us at this difficult time. Charlotte informed us of step by step actions and we were able to contact her if and when we needed to. It has been a very smooth process and Charlotte showed us all empathy and compassion, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.

Title: Outstanding Professional Service, Compassion and Support from Beginning to End

I cannot recommend Sylviane highly enough. From the very beginning to the successful conclusion of my case, the service I received from her was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout what was an extremely difficult, emotional and stressful period in my life, Sylviane demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, dedication, compassion and understanding. Her legal knowledge, expertise, patience and meticulous attention to detail were truly outstanding. She consistently went above and beyond, taking the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly and ensure I felt fully informed, reassured and supported throughout the entire process. What made Sylviane particularly exceptional was not only her outstanding legal expertise but also her genuine kindness, empathy and understanding of my personal circumstances, particularly during a time when my health was suffering considerably. I never once felt like just another client. I genuinely felt that Sylviane cared about me as an individual and was completely dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome on my behalf. Her commitment, professionalism and determination gave me confidence and reassurance during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and I will always be grateful for the care, patience and dedication she showed me. From my initial contact right through to the successful conclusion of my case, Sylviane provided an exceptional standard of legal representation and personal support. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me. Her expertise, professionalism and compassion have made such a positive difference, allowing me to finally move forward with my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sylviane to anyone seeking an outstanding solicitor who combines exceptional legal expertise with genuine care, compassion and dedication to her clients. A truly exceptional solicitor who deserves every one of these five stars! Finally, a special thank-you to Hayley for always being so lovely, pleasant and helpful whenever we spoke. Thank you so much, Sylviane, for everything. I will always be sincerely grateful.
