Herrington Carmichael were recommended to myself and my fellow directors to act in the selling of our financial services company. Throughout the process I found Alex Canham and Melissa Deutrom to be knowledgeable about our particular industry, they acted in our interests in a diligent but pragmatic way, gave sound advice, were responsive to our requests and focussed on achieving the deadline that we required. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others in a similar situation.
It was delightful working with Melissa. She made me feel comfortable when dealing with what was a complicated process. Melissa was professional, knowledgeable and dedicated.
A big thank you to Alex and his team in particular Melissa who worked diligently and at all times looked to serve our best interests.

Despite the tight deadlines and significant workload I was delighted with their performance.
