Client Feedback: "Sophie has delivered a level of service above and beyond our
expectations (and our expectations are high!), and we see her as a key member of the HSBC transaction team on the deals with which she is involved. She and the Freeth's team have a total grasp of the key legal issues that we face on a daily basis, and most importantly she is pragmatic and 'commercially-minded' in her advice. I would be more than happy to instruct her on future transactions in the region."

Matthew Hunt, Director

"Sophie is a regeneration CPO Specialist".

"I am in a position to make the following comments safe in the knowledge that I am able to judge the level of service provided by Sophie and her team in direct comparison to competitors with whom I am winding down work. What I want is what I am getting and for that reason I will continue to use her services and would happily recommend others to do likewise. What is important to my organisation is an understanding of our needs coupled with her availability for sound guidance and a prompt response. All these boxes I am pleased to say are ticked."
