Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team has extraordinary experience in the their given field, is very responsive and committed to their client. Their attention to detail does not leave any stones unturned. They are also the expediter of the case as well by trying to push things to a faster resolution.’
‘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.’
