Guy was appointed by myself in February of this year to assist with the purchase of shares from the estate of our deceased managing director , I have to say his knowledge is endless and his fast and efficient communication first class , I would happily use him again and definitely recommend him for anyone who requires such services in the future.

An excellent experience

We had the pleasure of working with Jas for the sale of our company where we agreed on a fixed fee. I cannot speak highly enough of Jas's professionalism, dedication, and hard work throughout the process. From the very start, Jas was extremely responsive and took the time to understand our needs and concerns. He was always available to answer our questions, very easy to talk with, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that the acquisition was completed successfully and within the timeline we had in mind. Jas's attention to detail and expertise were evident throughout the process. He was able to navigate complex legal jargon with ease and provided us with clear, concise advice that was easy to understand. His dedication to our case was remarkable. Overall, I would highly recommend Jas to anyone looking for a solicitor for their business needs. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment to his clients are truly exceptional, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. If you want to work with a solicitor who will go the extra mile to ensure your success, Jas is the right choice for you.

I have worked with David for many years and have always found him to be an exceptional solicitor. Most recently he helped me review, draft and implement a new shareholders’ agreement for my own business, which he handled superbly. His advice is always clear, practical and commercially focused. As an IFA I regularly introduce my own clients to David, as I know they will receive high quality advice and excellent service. Working collaboratively with trusted professionals like David helps achieve the best outcomes for clients, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

What ever you do don’t use Jordan’s solicitors. In December I approached Jordan solicitors So I could buy my parents house, they said I could use Halesowen branch and my sister The executor of the will could use Blacklheath branch After six months they got back to me saying they could not represent both of us. I understand this, but it’s taken six months for them to get back to me plus I put £50 deposit down and they have taken £27 out of the £50 deposit for sorting they haven’t done so if I was you stay well clear of Jordan‘s solicitors

David Grove provides a great service. I've found him to answer emails in double-quick time and provide straightforward, commercially focused advice. Fees are fair, and the timing of invoices equally so. Top man in my view.
