Testimonials

Having taken the decision to put our business up for sale, we were recommended to use The Wilkes Partnership LLP as our legal advisers. Their professionalism and attention to detail alongside their knowledge and understanding of our industry was critical in being able to complete on the sale in early February 2023. There were issues that needed to be dealt with along the way but these were attended to speedily and efficiently by the Wilkes team, with input from ourselves as required. Always quick to respond, it was a pleasure working with the Corporate team at Wilkes, in particular Gareth O’Hara, Christie Nelson and Katherine Proctor, who all made significant contributions to the successful sale of our business.

Richard Stevens, Director of Allen Newport Limited

Thank you to Rick Smyth and the Corporate team for a great service through this transaction (as was the same with the ICB transaction last month). They were all super helpful at all times and are a pleasure to work with.

Mark Winter, Managing Director, MW Business Consultancy Ltd.

We have worked with Lucy Freeman and the Wilkes corporate team on multiple transactions and have always enjoyed the process. Their expertise and dedication were instrumental in our recent investment into Wolf Eyewear, enabling it to acquire White Optics Limited. We have always benefited greatly from Lucy and her team’s pragmatic, flexible and commercial approach. We couldn’t have asked for a more effective and supportive collaboration and will continue to use their services in the future.

Simon Kelsall, FDC

We greatly appreciated Rick and the team’s pragmatic and proactive approach – helping us navigate both the process and overcome some tricky technical issues. We look forward to working with them again on our future corporate acquisitions and view them as very much part of our team.

David Walley – CEO Mobile Promotions

I had the pleasure of working with Kiran at Wilkes and was thoroughly impressed by her expertise and professionalism. The technical advice I received for a corporate restructure was clear and insightful, and helped me navigate the matter with confidence. Kiran was dedicated, communicated well and delivered on documentation and advice in a timely manner. I felt well supported and guided and I highly recommend Kiran and Wilkes for anyone seeking reliable, expert legal representation.
