Mr B (TED Group)

 

Stuart Rea handled our unusual and complex matter with professionalism.  He understood what we wanted to achieve and gave us very clear guidance on our legal position - even though we did not necessarily want to hear the advice it was essential to our charity understanding our legal position and therefore making lawful decisions.  He also worked to the very tight timescales that we needed.

Mr S

 

Thank you to David Preece for all his work and help throughout the process, it made an initially daunting prospect so much simpler and more straightforward, I can't tell you how helpful that was for us. David was consistently efficient and prompt but also realistic and pragmatic about the process allowing us to pick our way through and find a reasonable approach to it all that worked for us. Thank you again for all your help, David.

I used FBCMB for a business/commercial and found them to be helpful, professional and informative.  Their costs were as quoted.  I would recommend them and if I need their services in the future I would certainly use them again.

David Preece gave us timely and relevant advice on a share purchase agreement:  we needed the key risks and implications explaining to us and he did that in a clear and direct way.  The service was good quality and good value.  Would definitely use the firm again.
