Client
Thanks for all your help with the finalising the renewal lease for our tenant company in Ottershaw. You ensured that the process went smoothly and we were able to discuss various aspects of the renewal and decide which factors were relevant to this transaction and which ones were optional.

Having been recommended Herrington Carmichael to aid us with the sale of our business the Regency Cafe, I was immediately impressed with their clear, calm and thorough attitude guiding us through all the different aspects of the sale whether it be in corporate, lease matters, employment or dispute resolution. I most notably dealt with Anna Svensson in Real Estate and Edward Beedham in Corporate and despite the matter taking much longer than anticipated, proving somewhat frustrating at times, they remained professional, communicative and clear headed giving sound advice and working in a timely and responsive manner, ultimately reaching a satisfactory conclusion with the sale of my business. I have had no cause for complaint with their service whatsoever and are immensely grateful for all their help. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
