“Great service from Katherine Gilmour and Patrick Mears on the sale of my company and associated properties. Prompt, approachable and practical advice and good at demystifying the various complexities which occur. Streetwise in negotiating and dealing with buyer's legal team and proactive in developing solutions which work for both parties. A successful outcome. Would use again.”
“Battens supported us with a recent business acquisition. Brian Levine was extremely professional, efficient and very responsive. This enabled us to get the deal done at the required speed, whilst being very thorough with the advice we received. I would certainly recommend Battens and will continue to use their services in future.”
“Initial email contact with Patrick Mears very prompt and clear. Drafting, approval and execution all smooth with good communication all round and all was in place well before completion date. Very happy with the service from all at Battens and would certainly use again when/if requiring further help.”
“A great team. Used Ross Siviter and his team at least 5 times now for our various house sales and purchases, including my son's 1st purchase. This was one of the most stressful house sales I have ever experienced. The buyer and solicitor did not help matters is all I can say. Ross and his team went above and beyond to keep everything on track and worked tirelessly to make sure we got our sale through before Christmas.”
“Sarah Jackson was amazing from start to finish, supporting, advising and guiding me through all the stages of a long and difficult divorce process. Sarah was professional, sympathetic, understanding yet clear and fair at each stage. Sarah explained each step clearly and worked at my pace throughout. I would not be where I am now, stepping into a new chapter, without her. For that I am very grateful and I can't recommend Sarah enough. Thank you.”
