  • ‘I have been in constant contact with Linda Blay and find her at all times extremely professional but with an air of friendship. Linda explains things in a way that that can be understood rather than bombardment of legal jargon. This exactly what I want and need. Linda was extremely kind and understanding during the passing of both inlaws within three weeks of each other.’

  • ‘The team responds promptly to any queries asked and provides intelligent responses.'

  • ‘I deal with a partner (Russell Hallam) on a mutual property Trust and have always found Russell very knowledgeable on all aspects of Trust tax and administrative matters.

  • 'I also deal with a senior associate (Michael Charalambous) on the same Trust who is attentive to any administrative problems that occur.’
