Rob, You have been fantastic and thank you for that. It has been a test of my patience that I would not want to go through again but yourself and Guvvy have been professional and calm throughout. I wish you all the best and thank you again for all you have achieved for us.

Thanks for your help during this process and for making it a very smooth and painless transaction.
Hope to deal with you again in the future

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you

While this rollercoaster of buying and selling businesses is your daily grind it is unlikely that I will ever do this again.  I just wanted to thank you all, you have all shown me great kindness in dealing with this with sensitively.  I consider having had you all on my team a great privilege.  You have worked with great professionalism and consideration – Gentlemen I thank you

Selling a company is the hardest thing as an Owner I have had to do, Guvvy and his team made the process a lot simpler than I thought possible, even being miles away from each other he made the process simple – I would recommend anyone to use his service

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 take the opportunity to personally thank you for always being so thoroughly prepared and patient with our clients. You do an excellent job with the legal reviews, and as a result I will always be comfortable recommending both yourself and Mackrell to my clients

Robert Watson – Just want to thank you for all your patience and perseverance on the project and especially your key input in us retaining some sort of sanity when faced with pages and pages of Legal Due Diligence points.

I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank you for always being so thoroughly prepared and patient with our clients. You do an excellent job with the legal reviews, and as a result I will always be comfortable recommending both yourself and Mackrell to my clients.

This transaction could and would never have completed without the tireless professionalism and commitment from Maung and the team there at Mackrell.Solicitors!!! THANK YOU!!

I would like to extend my gratitude to Guvvy and his Team who were extremely professional and thorough in dealing with the recent sale of my business. They definitely went beyond the call of duty providing invaluable advice and ensuring the deal was completed to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate in recommending Guvvy if you are looking for a lawyer when selling your Business.

Dear Robert,
I want to thank you, and your supporting team, for your help and support in selling my business. The road felt rocky along the way and, whilst my emotions ran high from time to time, your professionalism never wavered and your support remain considered and solid throughout.

Guvvy Sandhu was recommended to me for the sale of my business. From the first phone call I knew I  had made the right choice. Guvvy is very knowledgeable, well spoken and so professional. Backed up by Rob’s excellent knowledge and communication skills.  Rob was a very calming influence during the whole due diligence process. When I needed clarification or further understanding of the legal terms, Guvvy was there to explain and guide me.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Guvvy and his team.

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.

Having just completed the sale of my business via Mackrell I would just like to thank both Guvvy & Rob for their professional manner and attention to detail in guiding us through a complicated legal process. They remained calm and efficient throughout and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Guvvy Sandhu – It was not an easy process due to COVID resulting in an aborted sale however with your help we managed to secure progress with a previous bidder bringing the sale to completion.

It was great that you progressed the legal matter without unnecessary referrals to myself and your dedication at all hours of the day and night certainly helped.

Thank you once again.

Hi Guvvy, It’s been a busy last week to finalize the transaction. For me, but I believe even more for you. It’s been a pleasure working with you, couldn’t have asked for better representation.
We would like to thank you and your colleagues for this, perfect service!

Guvvy recently advised me on a significant transaction relating to the the sale of a company.  He was always responsive and very strong of the technical details.  I would highly recommend him.

Thank you to you and all your team for guiding us through the whole process, I must say I never anticipated the stress in the last 2 months of getting to this point.

I am absolutely grateful for all your assistance and input all done with the absolute integrity.

I wish you all well for the future and look forward to speaking with you in due course over the next couple of months.

Guvvy, Rob

I would just like to say a big thank you for the effort that you put in on our deal and also the quick turnaround.  As you’re aware this is life changing for us and means that we can live life feeling a little more secure for us and our family.

Thank you and your team again for me.

I won’t hesitate to recommend you moving forward.

Company X wanted to personally thank Mackrell for the service they provided to both himself and the shareholders: “the team at Mackrell have been with us every step of our sale journey. Their commitment, strategic and legal experience, provided reassurance and a great outcome for us as sellers. The sale was delivered during the Covid pandemic and Mackrells professionalism was key in keeping the transaction on track for a successful completion.”

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.

Hi Rob

Thank you for all your help and guidance with this , all unfamiliar territory with us but greatly appreciated

Robert Watson – Thank you so much for helping us take such a big step in our working careers with your fantastic and professional help. You all made us so comfortable when it came to handling such legal documents. It has been a great pleasure to have had you on board this journey. Will certainly recommend you and your company to anyone considering using solicitors. Once again big thanks

Corporate – I have just completed the sale of my business through Mackrell. Solicitors with Guvvy, Rob and the team.  While I know my business inside out I know nothing of the legal side involved in what it takes to sell a business, Guvvy has been patient and understanding in ensuring I fully understand all aspects of the deal.  The team have been extremely responsive and we have completed the sale in a very short time.  I have utter trust and confidence that my best interests have been served at every point and would not hesitate to recommend 100%.

Guvvy – Money has been received! Thank you so much for all your patience and professionalism!

Thank you all for making this process as smooth as possible.

(acted on a simultaneous Sale and Purchase)

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.

Guvvy, Robert, Joanna – We were in talks with a potential buyer for our business and Guvvy at Mackrell was one of the solicitors recommended by our agent to carry out the legal side of the sale process.  I chose Guvvy as he was responsive to my messages and friendly and helpful on the phone.  The process of selling a business is stressful but Guvvy and his team, particularly Rob, could not have been more helpful.  Rob walked me through the buyers legal due diligence questions with commendable patience and good humour.  It’s not an exaggeration to say I could not have answered most of the questions without his assistance and his translation from legal jargon to plain English!  Mackrell’s employment law specialist, Joanna, was incredibly helpful when it came to the process of negotiating our new employment contracts.  She was always on our side, pushing back when required and helping us understand all aspects of the documents before we agreed to the terms.  Whilst I never want to go through the process of selling a business again, if I had to, I would use Mackrell.  We agreed a fixed price for the deal and in my opinion, it was worth every penny!

Brilliant work Guvvy, Harshita and team!! Thanks so much

Guvvy and his team were very responsive and always made themselves available.  Everything was explained to us in an understandable way, and we were very impressed with their service.  We have no hesitation whatsoever.

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!!!

Just wanted to pass on one last thanks for the support and help provided.

Both John and I have been very impressed with the service Rob and Guvvy have provided and its greatly appreciated!

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.

This transaction could and would never have completed without the tireless professionalism and commitment from Maung and the team there at Mackrell.Solicitors!!! Thank you!!”

Guvvy – My business has been acquired by RSK Ltd, an outstanding group that will create an environment that will allow my business to flourish.  I am very happy with the outcome especially through the covid period.

I would like to genuinely thank Mackrell for helping me through the legal process every step of the way in a practical manor. The process can be demanding at times and Mackrell were always on hand to advise through to completion.

Hi Rob,

Just wanted to say thank you.  It’s been a challenging year without all this but you’ve been very professional throughout and I appreciate the effort you must have put in.

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.

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.

Hi Guvvy

It’s good to have experienced your services and know you are excellent at what you do.

Our local solicitors can’t offer the same service levels.

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.

Dear Guvvy and Harriet and Robert,

Thank you so much for helping us take such a big step in our working careers with your fantastic and professional help. You all made us so comfortable when it came to handling such legal documents . It has been a great pleasure to have had you on board this journey.

Will certainly recommend you and your company to anyone considering using solicitors.

Once again big thanks

Mackrell.Solicitors have handled the transaction on our behalf. I would wish to put on record that they handled the whole transaction in a very professional manner. Guvvy Sandhu and Robert Watson have been exceptional. The whole process was seamless and what was an extremely difficult situation with the buyers solicitors, both Guvvy and Robert helped to smooth the transition to the very end.

On behalf of my Co Director and myself I would have no hesitation in recommending them in a professional capacity and wish to thank them both for all their help, support and advise in a very difficult process.
