ABOUT US

Founded in 2019, we’re a group of like-minded partners aiming to do things differently. We’re privileged to be the people you turn to for advice, and we place you front and centre of everything we do.

ABOUT YOU

Law firms often say, ‘we act for businesses and individuals’. We do too; it’s a useful distinction to draw. But let’s be clear, whether personal or business, everything we do involves improving your position.

PEOPLE

A lawyer may conduct trials, but shouldn’t be one. The days when clients will tolerate unresponsiveness, aloofness or downright strangeness in an adviser have gone. We think you’ll enjoy working with us.

 
 
 

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials

“Thank you so, so much for yesterday and taking the time out for us. Very much appreciated and the team massively enjoyed the session. One team member was saying how this is the best legal session he’s been on and he has been on quite a few throughout his career!”

UK Head of Marketing | YO! Sushi

“Thank you, Anna. It’s been a long, long road to navigate and we couldn’t have done it without your patience and help.  We definitely owe you a drink - and a hug too I think!”

Real Estate Client

“Anna Melvill acted as our solicitor in our flat purchase. As first time buyers, the whole process was quite daunting to us — and Anna's support was invaluable. She replied quickly and informatively to our (many) questions, and even helped us successfully renegotiate the purchase price. We would highly recommend Anna for her professionalism, knowledge and communication.”

Real Estate Client

“We wanted to say thank you to you both for everything you have done for us over the last few years.  You have been great advisors and coached and counselled us through a very, very difficult situation. You’ve also been friends to us through some quite dark times. I’m so pleased to have finally got to the end of it all. We could not have done it without you. Thank you for always being so available.”

Real Estate Client

“As always Andrew, thanks for your speedy support. You are without doubt one of the most efficient solicitors that I have ever worked with.”

Real Estate Executive

“I wanted to express my gratitude for the remarkable dedication that you and Anna have shown in assisting us with securing this site. Effectively reviewing all the material within such a limited timeframe was a significant challenge. Without the outstanding effort you have both invested, winning this contract race would have been impossible.  Thank you immensely for your hard work. I very much look forward to working with you when we secure additional sites.”

Abdelrahman Fathalla | Founder of Guillam Coffee House

“You have been invaluable in this process and I thank you very much for being such a strong support.”
