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…

Just a quick note to say what wonderful work the property team have done, once again, in getting the purchase of our new house in the country over the line.

115 – Adam

Adam Kelman – Thanks so much for all of your help, it’s been first class.

262 – Property

I really appreciate all the help, support and patience during this long process it took me to buy my property.

I thank you and all the Team at Mackrell.Solicitors.

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.

238 – Property

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

138 – Skylar

Just wanted to drop you line to say we received excellent service from Skylar.  We would definitely recommend her to other firms.

204 – Property

I have Dealt with Mackrell twice this year. Both times they have been brilliant always getting everything dealt with in a steadfast manner as soon as it arises and keeping me in the loop.

I was fortunate enough to have you handle both my Mortgages and get everything over the line within 2 weeks of contacting him. I couldn’t recommend them enough if anyone is looking for a relaxed process and getting their objective over the line I would pick Mackrell every single time.

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.

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.

182 – Melissa, Family

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.

135 – Joanne T – Property

Joanne Tappin – I want to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf and for successfully concluding this transaction.

So thanks again from both of us, and on a personal level I look forward to working with you again on the sale of our other Property.

Thanks so much Asim! Mackrell.Solicitors have been amazing and so on the ball.

Pleasure working with you. We will be sure to recommend your services.

Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year!

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.

Adam

Dear Adam – Once you took over the assignment we were impressed by your professionalism.  Calls were returned promptly, the information you gave was sound, and you kept us calm.

45 Corporate Team

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

119 – Property team

I just wanted to take a moment to send a quick group email to thank each of you for all of your help and work as a team to get this house sale finished in time, with all of the stamp duty pressure.

25

Prompt response to client problems, problem solving, and resolution quickly and professionally.

32

Again thank you so very much for helping me fight for access to see my kids grow up. I’m overwhelmed really by it all.

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.

225 – Rob – Guvvy – Corporate

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.

122 – Joanna Alexiou

Throughout my experience with Joanna at Mackrell. Solicitors. I felt that my opinions and my position were carefully considered and represented. Options and consequences were discussed thoroughly, which allowed me to be confident of the path we took and which ultimately delivered a great result for me.

261 – Skylar – Immigration

Thank you again for your exceptionally fine work. Your representation was the only bright spot in a very long and arduous journey.

(Obtained indefinite leave to remain for this client)

137 – Guvvy & Harriet

Guvvy, Harriet,

You have both been absolutely fantastic to deal with throughout this process. Extremely professional throughout in an unbelievably hectic and stressful process.

Thank you from all our shareholders

245 – Family – Geeta

It’s been a long and challenging few years, I have certainly had some very bad periods through it, but with both yours and Geeta’s support I have managed to achieve what I set out to do, get back on my feet.

195 – Employement – Joanna

Joanna Alexiou – You have been amazing through all of this. I couldn’t have done this without you, so thank you so much for all of your help.

(Employment advice)

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

202 – Skylar McKeith – Immigration

Skylar McKeith – Thank you for the excellent service you have provided during this time. Again, I am very grateful as is my husband.

(An application for indefinite leave to remain)

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.

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.

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.

116 – Skylar

Skylar McKeith – My family in the UK are extremely happy, me and Sena of course are very excited and happy too. Thank you for your great work.

276 – Jeffery

Dear Jeffrey

As I said on the phone ‘you are a breath of fresh air’

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.

108 – Wills

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.

139 – Guvvy

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.

Guvvy Sandhu as our lawyer provides excellent support, advice and guidance throughout the sale process, supported by his highly competent team. Acting to protect our interests both on the deal completion and post completion period.

He was recommended by our sale advisors and did not disappoint.

149 – Geeta

Thank you so much for your wonderful service.  I really appreciate the efficiency in which my issue was handled.

141 – Guvvy & Robert

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.

133 – Skylar – Immigration

Skylar – Thank you again for all your help.  I have no hesitation in recommending your expert services and that of your company, Mackrell.Solicitors.

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!!!

176 – property

Thanks. You are the best solicitor I have worked with. Appreciate your help and assistance.

198 – Property

Very big thanks for assisting us through our first home purchase. He was very prompt in his response. We would certainly recommend.

(Helping our first time buyer client)

215 – Guvvy, Robert, Joanna – Corporate

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!

244 – Family

The advice you provided from day one has been invaluable, and I can honestly say I have learnt a great deal from this experience. From the moment I received that first letter, you gave me hope, your direct and confident approach made me feel it was achievable.

277 – James McKimm – Corporate

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.

Thank you as always for taking such good care of my clients.

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

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.

Hi Rob

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

On behalf of NiceHash Ltd, I would like to thank you for your extremely correct and professional attitude. The work was done in an exemplary manner, professionally, quickly and efficiently.

68 – Wills

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!!

99 – Property

Thank you for all your hard work to get us across the line! It was a real pleasure working with you!

173 – Guvvy, Corporate, Joanna

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.

271 – Geeta – Family

Goes without saying but I think it’s a good point for me to let you know; you’ve been phenomenal. Your client care, hard work & passion – is second to none, mighty impressive & inspiring.

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!

72 – Wills

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We greatly appreciated your support and professionalism and would definitely recommend you to others.

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.

259 – Geeta Patel – Family

Thank you for the integral part you have played, in immortalising more time for me and my daughter – even as a writer, I would never be able to find the words that would adequately describe the depths of my gratitude.

286 – Guvvy, James, Harriet, corporate

James and Harriet were an awesome team.
James has such an eye for detail and was always on call for us.
Harriet did an amazing job leading for us and she has a rare quality (in the legal world) of being able to make the legals easily understood by the ‘regular punter’ (us). She really was exceptional.

65 – Guvvy

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.

267 – Property team

My wife summed it up well yesterday, by saying, “ you know that whatever Mackrell are working on for us, whether it is family matters or buying and selling houses you just know their advice is right and the others are wrong”

I feel we as a company can start to put this bad experience behind us and focus on what we do best without distraction and that’s all down to the brilliant work of Asim.

I honestly can’t sing his praises enough. I’ve never been in this position before where I’m losing sleep, stressing out because I don’t know this legal process and how to fight it.

Thanks to you and the appointment of Asim, everything changed and we soon began to relax more and more with every call/email from Asim. You have a real star within your team and I cannot praise Asim enough. He is a great testament to Mackrell and I will definitely be recommending him to anyone that may require his services.
