Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘We used Baljeet Kaur and the team at Tees Law for the first time this year and I can honestly say they were the most helpful, speedy and friendly solicitors I have ever used. This was a major transaction for us and Bally put our mind at rest from the start.’

  • ‘Constant swift communications is the name of the game here. Baljeet Kaur kept us informed every step of the way without being chased, which I have to say is a breath of fresh air for us. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.’

  • ‘Friendly and genuinely seem to care about the people in our business and the transaction.’

  • ‘The team at Tees is exceptional when it comes to corporate and commercial. They went above and beyond while trying to get the deal done. Their tenacity and understanding of our business were excellent, as well as their understanding of a commercial deal that was not always straightforward.’

  • ‘Lucy Folley was a critical part of getting the deal done. Lucy's understanding of our business was essential in getting the deal across the line. Without her efforts, I believe that it would not have gone through. I cannot recommend her enough!’

  • ‘Lucy Folley and Baljeet Kaur are both very good and will also work very effectively together, covering for each other when needed. I very much appreciate their commercial attitude to issues that have arisen in transactions.’

  • ‘One thing that made working with Tees unique was how easy the professionals are to talk to - this helped to build trust with our mutual client. Tees provides straightforward, jargon-free advice. They were on hand and made sure they kept in touch with the client regularly with updates and reassurance.’

  • ‘Claire Powell and her team are very effective communicators, taking their time to explain matters of law and where and when commercial decisions have to be taken. They go the extra mile to keep a deal on track, always ensuring their full attention to the matter in hand.’
