Recommendations

"Ardent appreciation of your graceful yet no-nonsense legal advice on my most pressing matter. Clarity was the result and thanks to you I now stand from a position of a strong stance, looking to the future with a back- bone instead of a wish-bone." John Laviniere, Building Surveyor and founder Architectural Gauged Brickwork.

"Janvi has a smart, straightforward approach to employment law and sees how it can act as a support rather than a hindrance to effective people management; I am always able to talk to Janvi and her Halebury colleagues in the confidence that they are as focused on organisational effectiveness as they are on legal compliance." Mary Ann le Lean (nee Thomas), Senior Consultant & Director, Year One Consulting.

"Delphine Power has provided Enterprise with pragmatic and thoughtful legal advice on many commercial contracts. With her clear understanding of our business requirements, she has been able to assist us in negotiating provisions which protect our interests while living up to both the letter and spirit of the law and the terms of the agreement." Joe Bowen-Thomas Financial Controller for National Sales Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

"Polly is an experienced legal counsel who I deal with on a one to one basis rather than being passed around the department." Jens Pedersen, CEO, Efficio.

"I've worked with Ed on numerous projects over the years and he's been a real pleasure to work with - incredibly professional, pragmatic & most importantly always delivering the desired results!" Mark Joseph Director - Sales & Business Development, Media, Internet & Government Sectors, Ericsson Ltd.

"Sarah took the time to understand the concept, was very encouraging about the business but also understood the legal ramifications. She handled all our enquiries efficiently, asking pertinent questions to both ensure we got the best out of our time with her but also that the business abided by the law. We really benefited from her wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as her ability to share the information in a clear and accessible way. We are happy to recommend Sarah and look forward to working with her again in the future." Gaby Riley, Director, Relevant Now Limited.

"As our business has developed over the last 8 years Laurie has been instrumental in ensuring our contracts with our artists and clients have been fit for purpose as well as making sure the internet based side of the business was legally protected. In order to do this she had to get to know all aspects of the business in detail and throughout this process she was incredibly patient, thorough and professional." Dave Jordan, Gigz Management.
