Phil Mulroney, Head of Property, The Money Shop. "I work closely with one of the real estate investment teams at Freeth Cartwright, which is led by John McLauchlan. John's advice is always client focussed and pragmatic and he is ably assisted by Mark Gradwell and Vicky Pritchard. Mark and Vicky provide clear, concise and technically sound advice. All three are quick to grasp the legal and commercial issues and always remain conscious of context when providing their advice. Being able to confidently express that we can complete legal transactions extremely quickly is invaluable to the funds which I manage." Ed Crockett, Manager - Fund Management, Aberdeen Property Investors UK Ltd "We have retained Freeth Cartwright as legal advisers to the Bank locally since we opened and during that time we have found them to be a good partner for the Bank. Mark is our main contact, giving pragmatic advice and providing great service levels combined with competitive pricing." Larick Walker, Branch Manager, Svenska Handelsbanken, Nottingham. "We first came across Freeth Cartwright when they were acting for the seller of a property which we were acquiring. Pretty quickly we moved on to using them for the legal work on the property acquired. Since then, they have also acted for us in relation to a number of other sales, purchases and miscellaneous legal matters. Mark Gradwell has been our main contact since 2002. I respect Mark's client commitment, initiative and common sense lawyering. This makes a huge difference to the efficiency of our business". Simon Biggart, MD, The Wedge Property Company Limited. |
