I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the way the whole deal has been handled. Harriet has been fantastic throughout, she made everything feel straightforward and ensured the transaction ran so smoothly. It’s a real credit to your team, and I truly appreciate all the support from both yourself and Harriet in making this such a positive experience for me.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joanna Alexiou at Mackrell LLP during a particularly challenging redundancy process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Joanna’s expertise, diligence, and empathetic approach were truly outstanding from start to finish. She guided me through the legal aspects with clarity and care, always making sure I felt supported and well-informed. What truly sets Joanna apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients — she maintained regular contact and follow-ups throughout, even during her annual leave, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and dedication. Joanna is a reliable and highly competent legal professional, and I would not hesitate to rely on her services again in the future.

Recently, I was given the bad news that I was being made redundant from my banking role in the City. When I saw how I was selected for redundancy, I realised immediately that I had been treated unfairly. I was recommended to Mackrell LLP by a friend to get some legal advice. I am so glad I took this recommendation. Joanna Alexiou, a Senior Associate at Mackrell LLP, was brilliant. I felt like I really had somebody “in my corner” throughout this very stressful and painful situation. She showed superb skill, professionalism, tenacity, and perhaps most importantly, she got me the result I deserved when negotiating with my employer on my severance payout.

I would highly recommend Joanna and Mackrell LLP to anyone who may need help with employment law. You will feel, as I did, that they really care about getting good results for you.

I would rate my experience with them as 11 out of 10!

I wanted to express my huge thanks and gratitude to you and your team for all the work, advice and help you have given me over the past two and a half years. I know your work involves dealing with people’s lives, but the manner in which you supported me was exactly what I needed.

Working with various lawyers at Mackrell LLP, I have always found the advice given to be clear and concise with excellent response times and lawyers who are a pleasure to work with. We chose Mackrell LLP in the first instance on the basis of a referral. Since our first contact with them, Mackrell LLP has shown itself to be large enough to provide advice over a range of specialities and yet small enough to treat you respectfully and as an individual.

Alison Green – Thank you very much for steering me through this stressful and at times painful experience.  You’ve acted with professionalism, care and compassion every step of the way.  I never once felt alone, even when I couldn’t see the answers, you’ve had my back all the way.  Having a strong, clever and experienced woman in my corner has been fantastic – and at times a little humbling. So thank you very, very much.

Jeffrey – you are truly amazing! Thank you so much.

Just a quick note to thank you very much for introducing me to Jeffrey. My mum and I met him last week. He’s so knowledgeable and experienced. We’re very very impressed with his travel achievements – 160 countries and counting.

Jeff was really wonderful and explained things really well to my mum and I. He is going to put together a couple of documents for us. Huge thanks to you for the introduction!

Probate Team: Thank you once again for your work on this. You have made a difficult and complicated process very easy to follow and we have very much appreciated and valued your guidance and advice. The whole service has been excellent and we have found you a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.

Probate Team – I think it is your expertise, knowledge and communication skills that has made things easy for us to understand and to feel connected with what would otherwise be a complex situation.

Thank you so much for all of your help with the probate.
