‘Ability to advise on complex matters in a straight forward way manner, setting out clearly the options and the recommendation.’
‘Angus Hunter Smart and Jonathan Attey intuitively understand how their clients think and what they not only want from their advisers, but also what they want from their property portfolios.’
‘They are well respected by other professionals as being reliable and competent. They remain so without recourse to too much modern wizardry.’
‘Jonathan Attey is a very knowledgeable lawyer in his field and also a practical farmer. So his keen legal advice is often tempered by some sound common-sense. He is a good explainer of the more intricate points. He is a calm negotiator who relies on persuasive argument and calm reason rather than aggression, which suits me.'
'Angus Hunter Smart is highly respected in his field and very busy with much bigger clients than us. But we get the advantage of all that and always feel as important. He is also extremely good at explaining the more intricate points, which seem to increase in the world of wills and trusts.’
‘They have superb strength and depth.’
‘Matthew Featherstone is approachable, contactable, direct, clear and concise. He gets into any issues quickly, offers advice with a no nonsense approach and ultimately delivers solutions.’
'Wrigleys have scale and a diverse skills base to serve most client requirements but are still small enough that they work collaboratively with other colleagues in their office which ensures best advice to their clients.'
