Corporate Team
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.
When selling or buying a business you enter a legal world that is very much like being on another planet. Thanks to Guvvy and Harriet, I kept my feet on the ground and navigated the new terrain with confidence to a successful conclusion. My sincere thanks go to both for their hand holding, diligence and guidance.
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
Guvvy – We would like to thank you for guiding us through what turned out to be a very challenging process. After first speaking with you, we had no doubt in trusting that you would do your best for us and you didn’t disappoint.
You were there with us every step of the way, always responding in a timely manner when we needed you and presenting us with all information in a clear and easily understood way.
We greatly appreciated your support and professionalism and would definitely recommend you to others.
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)
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 – 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.
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.
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
