236 – Guvvy

Hi Guvvy, cannot thank you enough for getting the sale of my company through yesterday, As you are aware you have been acting for me for over a year with two previous buyers where the deal collapsed at the end. I think it is a blessing in disguise that the first deal did not happen and you gave me warnings early on. I can honestly say that I have been completely happy with the way you have dealt with the sale, the advice you have given.

Also this thanks is extended to Robert, Joanna and Rana for all their hard work assisting you to get to completion yesterday.

284 – Harriet – Corporate

We needed to find a good, commercially aware solicitors practice to generate the SPA for an imminent sale. We were advised to talk to Mackrell Solicitors and found them extremely helpful and commercially savvy. In particular, Harriet Jones was instrumental in the successful sale. She walked us through the SPA, pointing out any pitfalls and suggesting remedies, and delivered a document in good time that was gratefully accepted by both parties. I thoroughly recommend Mackrell and Harriet.

May I just say that in our interactions over the past several months, I never cease to be amazed by the speed, efficiency and attentiveness with which you respond. Not to mention the sense of calm and clear logic that you bring to the matter being discussed.

279 – James McKimm – Corporate

James McKimm has been exceptional during the whole process. His guidance and advice over what can be a demanding and stressful period, was massively appreciated. James has a particular skill at being able to make “legal speak“ understandable to anyone who does not have legal knowledge or expertise.

27

I would highly recommend Guvvy Sandhu who recently advised me over the sale of my company. Not only is Guvvy highly skilled and thorough in his work, but he also has the ability to find creative solutions to challenging problems. Despite being called in late in the transaction process, Guvvy was able to quickly grasp the issues and turn around work quickly, often having to work out of hours. Importantly Guvvy is able to communicate legal matters in plain english and was very responsive when I had any questions. I wouldn’t hestitate to work with Guvvy again.

108 – Wills

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.

My experience was flawless. He was knowledgeable, responsive and clear, making my first time purchase seamless. Equally, he was a patient sounding board when I was unsure of a few decisions. This combination of competence and sincerity makes for an ideal solicitor and I was lucky to have him on my team. I’d highly recommend him to one and all!

50 – Guvvy infosec

Dear Guvvy – With reference to my recent sale, I would like to sincerely thank you for your expertise and professionalism from start to finish. I’m convinced that without your knowledge and calm but firm negotiating, I would have ended up with a deal that either never completed or put me in a difficult position. I also really appreciate all the extra proactive hours you put in to make sure the other side was not waiting on us, I’ve never come across anyone that works as hard but as efficiently as yourself Guvvy.

Thanks so much for all of your help with getting this done! You have been invaluable. All the best, Lisa

239 – Guvvy – Corporate

M&A success is completely dependent on a top-quality team assembling, for which the legal component is paramount. Guvvy and his Mackrell.Solicitors team played a key role to the great outcome of the process Socrates just went through. Counting on his professional, opportune and appropriate support and guidance became a warranty not only to us as shareholders, but also to the other legal teams participating at local level during this complex acquisition effort. If I had to go over a similar process again in the future, I would not hesitate to get back to Guvvy for support. Thanks Guvvy and Team!!!

Thank you for doing a great job and all your advice.

Many thanks to Guvvy Sandhu and his team at Mackrell Solicitors for their highly professional service in acting for us on the sale of our business. Any queries were quickly addressed and at all times they fairly but firmly acted on our behalf to achieve the best outcome for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Guvvy and Mackrells to anyone intending to buy or sell a business.

23

On behalf of me and my family,
I would like to say a huge thanks to you, and your team at Mackrell.Solicitors, for pursuing this and getting this money for us, it means so much, The proceeds will hopefully let us all set ourselves up a little bit better for life moving forward, we are truly grateful.

We know Maung extremely well indeed and have always found him to be highly commercial, pragmatic and focussed on getting the job done, so we have no reservations in recommending him…

61 – Alison

Alison Green – I want to say a big thank you for standing by me through the whole separation process from my husband. I was recommended by a friend to contact Alison, I was told she had been very helpful in my friend’s divorce. I was given Alison’s phone number and phoned there and then. I could not believe that I was put through to Alison straight away, she was available and able to answer my questions on the spot. That was so important to me, I felt supported. Throughout the whole process that availability, has been the most valuable aspect of my dealings with her. Even if Alison herself has not been there, one of her team has always come back to me the same day with relevant information. I would recommend Mackrell Solicitors to give professional information with a human touch. Although a city solicitor with London charges, they gave me value for money. Thank you!

38

Dear Guvvy

Thank you for all your help and input during my Company sale.

This is a process that people probably don’t go through more than once, and the start of the process is a vulnerable time for any Company owner. I am relieved that a colleague recommended you to lead the seller legal side.

I will never sell another business, but if I did I would have no hesitation in engaging your services again.

264 – Skylar – Immigration

Dear Skylar, Thank you for the excellent care and service you provided me as a client earlier this year. You helped me achieve a goal that I was beginning to fear was out of reach.

Thank you for everything.

251 – Skylar – Immigration

Skylar McKeith guided us through an immigration application, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with her work. She has a comprehensive understanding of the UK immigration system, and her advice saved us from wasting time and money. I unreservedly recommend her and the Mackrell. team.

I’d like to say how impressed I am with your work.

You’re always timely, precise and easy to understand. You cover our backs instead of your own and you make us feel safe and secure. You don’t lecture us and you cut to the chase, all with an approachable manner. We are in new and difficult tech sector where the old norms aren’t always fit for purpose and you are up to speed with it all.

278 – James McKimm – Corporate

It was a real pleasure to do business with a company who is prepared to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James or Mackrell’s to anyone preparing to go through a similar process.

I would like to thank you for the professional services provided, as well as your kind counsel throughout this time, it was very much appreciated.

The Probate Team sorted out my will, I cannot recommend them highly enough, they are like an encyclopaedia when it comes to knowledge on Wills. I didn’t know much about wills but knew that it was really important for my children to be protected and looked after if anything happened to me. They went through all of the options available and consequences in order to advice me on the best options for my family. I changed my mind a few times, going backwards and forwards, they were really patient throughout. I now have total peace of mind in knowing that my children will be looked after if something terrible happens to me. Thank you so much!!

Guvvy Sandhu of Mackrell. Solicitors was recommended to us. From the minute we started working with Guvvy we found him to be very polite, well spoken, knowledgeable and very professional. He was able to explain in understandable terms even the most complicated of legal technicalities. Guvvy worked tirelessly for us often emailing or ringing and communicating with us at very unsociable hours, over the weekend and late in to the evening if the need arose. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Guvvy to anyone who is considering or going through the sale of a business.

Guvvy Sandhu has been absolutely amazing during the transitional period of me selling my business, His knowledge, expertise and patients are unquestionable.

Before approaching Guvvy I was unfortunate to experience the unprofessional conduct of many solicitors I had contacted and dealt with.

The sale of my business was extremely complex and yet did not phase Guvvy in any way and not to mention the unsociable hours I had to contact him he always responded promptly. I would highly recommend Guvvy to any party or parties wishing to seek his services.

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!

Circumstances aside it was so lovely meeting you in person. I’m so sorry I couldn’t give you the biggest hug, I just wanted to thank you for all your comforting words and every bit of support you were offering today, and have offered to date. I don’t think I could have asked for better representation and advising voice.

As ever, we had great support from Guvvy and his team on the legal side but given that this was an asset purchase I would like to add my personal thanks to Joanna for her help and guidance on the TUPE process – your contribution, listening ear and patience proved to be invaluable and I know was greatly appreciated by our clients.

I met with the one of the team yesterday and instructed them on my will. I know people are more likely to write quickly to complain rather than give good feedback, so just want you to know that they are exceptional and a real credit to the business.

Property – I won’t hesitate to come to you again for any UK property sale and purchase I have and to recommend you to friends buying or selling property.

The Cannabis Team – The team at Empirical Labs , would just like to say thank you to Mackrell for their overall responsive, due diligent and professional attitude towards the area of law which is of interest to us e.g. Cannabis Legislation, Alongside this very specialized area of law, the team at Mackrell have also advised with the utmost professionalism on overlapping sectors of law which also have an impact i.e. contract, commercial and M&A.

Dear Saio,

Wow! Thank you so much for all the help!

I am very happy that we got it across the line! 🙏🙏🙏

From the minute we started working with Guvvy we found him to be very polite, well spoken, knowledgeable and very professional. He was able to explain in understandable terms even the most complicated of legal technicalities. Guvvy worked tirelessly for us often emailing or ringing and communicating with us at very unsociable hours, over the weekend and late in to the evening if the need arose. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Guvvy to anyone who is considering or going through the sale of a business.

Thank you so much for agreeing to cap your fee for the employment related advice.

I recognise that this assignment has lasted rather longer than initially expected and so the substantial reduction below your time costs is greatly appreciated and very much needed by us at this time.

May I say that I have been impressed with the approach that you have taken both at a high level as well as your meticulous attention to detail.

I will certainly return to you with my next project.

Thank you again.

Working with various lawyers at Mackrell.Solicitors, 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.Solicitors in the first instance on the basis of a referral. Since our first contact with them, Mackrell.Solicitors 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.

69 – Skylar

I have worked with Skylar in order to get Global Talent Visa. I had been worried whether I could get it or not. I had been told that Global Talent Visa is tricky and hard to get. And I happened to get in touch with Mackrell. Skylar was the one who worked for me. Considering money and time I had to spend, I was not sure I made the right choice. But watching the way Skylar works, all of sudden I had no doubt about what I was doing. And I at last got the visa I was craving for. Skylar has worked so hard for me. I don’t think she knows how grateful I am to her. I truly appreciate her help. Thanks Skylar, Thanks Mackrell!!! All the best
