“Working with Katherine and her team made a potentially complicated company sale as stress free as possible. Probably because she is so professional and very calm! I always felt that she had plenty of time for me and explained things clearly. I would thoroughly recommend her and Battens for commercial work.”
“Katherine was a great support in my discussions with the acquirer of my business. It is not easy "passing on" the reins when you have worked for so many years. Katherine was very clear and dealt exceptionally well in the negotiations, always fighting my corner. Many thanks Katherine.”
“My family have used Battens in one form or another since the 1920s and has always found them solid and dependable.”
“Katherine Gilmour and Patrick Mears were great. Timely advice and help with demystifying the sale process and complications which always arise. Also, dealing robustly and tactfully with the buyers legal advisors to good effect.”
“Katherine Gilmour immediately grasped the issues that needed attention and provided robust professional advice. She also provided additional networked services, which were also excellent. Unfortunately, the deal didn't proceed but that was not related to Katherine. Would definitely use again.”
“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.”
