This was a complex acquisition given the multiple sites and the work with the various lease assignments. Once again it was a pleasure working with Wilkes team who helped us deliver the acquisition with prompt advice on the commercial matters, employment and the property.

We felt confident throughout the negotiations that Rick and the team were completely on top of the deal and helping to drive the process to completion. We are grateful for their help, expertise and energy.

Client Feedback- The Legal 500 2024

We have found James Leo to be very supportive and he has handled our rather complex and difficult case very professionally and tactfully given the circumstances. He has kept us fully informed at all times and has always been available to answer any queries.

Sukhi Hoonjan

i have to say they have been great, helping me through a very difficult probate case. Billing was very clear and Jack Ackrill explained everything to me. Jack was so good when I first talked with him, I was so upset but he talked to me and walked me through everything I needed to do.

Client Feedback - The Legal 500 2024

We are very grateful to Rick and the Wilkes team for their support over the last few years. Their considerable experience in negotiating, as well as their pragmatic and timely response to whatever issues came up, were invaluable in and on helping us achieve a successful exit.
