Adrian Lewis – Redrow / Harrow Estates Commercial Development Director “The recent purchase of Allied Floors Limited from a major restructuring company has resulted in a complete renegotiation of lease terms. Richard and his team have been available 24/7 and have enabled us to secure more favourable terms going forward by giving good strategic advice as well as speedy execution of the deals proposed.” Gary Favell – Allied Floors Limited Managing Director “Richard Osborn and the Freeth Cartwright team have been invaluable in getting over 20 leases completed for us as part of a business acquisition in a very efficient and professional way. They really go the extra mile and have given very good advice beyond the scope of the original brief. I would thoroughly recommend them.” Andrew Moyes – BB’s Coffee & Muffins Managing Director “J&A Pets Ltd (t/a Petstop) entered the UK market earlier this year, with a plan to open 30 retail stores over five years. In order to achieve our objectives we had to assemble a professional team of advisers that would be equally as motivated as we are, would provide 110% service, and give us the level of professional advice that was required for us to succeed. Freeth Cartwright LLP have lived up to our expectations, not only in terms of advice on our leases, but in relation to 'trademarks', shareholder agreements, and contractual agreements. They are a one-stop-shop for all our legal requirements, which makes the management of our business significantly easier, knowing that one firm can competently manage all our legal needs. What is even more important, is that one partner, in our case Richard Osborn, acts as the liaison person between Petstop and Freeth Cartwright LLP to ensure that we are provided with the necessary advice that our business needs.” James Murray – Director of Petstop |
