-
Julie Middleton Cogent Mechatronic Limited
"Having worked with a variety of reputable commercial lawyers in London and Leeds, the service I have received from Andrew Jackson has been second to none. It’s extremely refreshing to find a firm of solicitors who are able to be responsive and agile yet without compromise to their service delivery. As a result, they secured us a commercial property lease within a turnaround of just 4 days from appointment to completion.
I was impressed at the pragmatism demonstrated in focusing contractual negotiations. The outcome of which, both mitigated risk exposure and strengthened our commercial position. Very often SMEs v big-player landlords are simply on the receiving end. Adrian and his team did an excellent job in ensuring our small business was fairly heard and his experience in such negotiations was apparent."
