In our recent acquisition, Herrington Carmichael LLP displayed an exceptional blend of technical proficiency and business acumen. Their diligence, coupled with their unwavering commitment to our best interests, ensured a smooth transition even when facing unexpected challenges. It’s not just their expertise, but also their approachability and ease of collaboration that stands out. I wholeheartedly recommend Herrington Carmichael to anyone seeking top-tier legal counsel with a clear understanding of commercial realities.

Yavan, Chris, and Liz are three of the most attentive, hands-on, and knowledgeable lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They were always available to answer my questions and provide me with excellent advice. They were also very proactive in managing my case and keeping me informed of its progress. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation.

Having come to the decison to sell my family business which had been operating for over 70 years I was in need of professional help and reassurance along the way. Chris and Sophie led me step by step through the process, advising me and fighting my corner over warranties and indemnities. I can honestly say that I could not have managed or coped without thier help and I have been very satisified with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

A sincere thank you to Yavan and the entire Herrington Carmichael team. You are an exceptionally committed group of individuals. Looking back, it’s impressive what we managed to accomplish over such a short period of time, dealing with a variety of issues that came up during the process. The amount of back and forth, especially over the last few days, has been dizzying and I can only imagine what was going on behind the scenes. Working with Yavan, Chris and Matt was a pleasure. Thanks to the three of you as well as the many others working behind the scenes

Working with the Banking team at HC in helping us to secure a critically important and complex debt financing deal for the company was real pleasure. It was understood very clearly from the start that a tight timeline was required to close out all the necessary legal documentation, which they turned around in very short timescales. Chris Gemson and Yavan Brar were great at managing this, with clear explanations and a great ability to advise and negotiate. They took a very commercial approach when needed on some of the areas that came up throughout the process, right the way through to completion. We look forward to an ongoing working partnership in the future as the company continues to navigate its way through a key fund raising period.

We recently instructed Chris to assist us with security arrangements to be provided by our UK group company pursuant to a loan facility being made to an overseas group company. Chris actually took the leadership in all of our contacts with the UK lawyer of the Israeli bank and guided us with all the elements of bringing the transaction to an end. As the transaction was led by the overseas financial team of the group Chris involvement was even more important with the fact that we were not familiar with all local requirements and could have made mistakes as a result of this lack of knowledge. I was impressed with Chris’ efforts in working out all the details and bringing the transaction to a successful closure additionally, he made the gaps between the UK law and our overseas business behaviour clear and manageable. We enjoyed working with Chris for his professionalism, responsiveness and availability to support our requirements on a short alert. I am sure that without Chris’ support in dealing with the banks numerous requirements, we would not have been able to complete within our desired time frame. I am hopeful we will find the opportunity to work together again in the future.
