Dedicated professionals ready to assist you.
A big thank you to Alex and his team in particular Melissa who worked diligently and at all times looked to serve our best interests. They were constantly available to provide reassuring advice through a sometimes difficult transaction and fraught period. Despite the tight deadlines and significant workload I was delighted with their performance.
When selling a business, you only get one chance to get it right and I will be forever grateful for the skill and advice provided by Alex and his colleagues.
Herrington Carmichael were recommended to myself and my fellow directors to act in the selling of our financial services company. Throughout the process I found Alex Canham and Melissa Deutrom to be knowledgeable about our particular industry, they acted in our interests in a diligent but pragmatic way, gave sound advice, were responsive to our requests and focussed on achieving the deadline that we required. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others in a similar situation.
Alex and Melissa provided a very professional service whilst also ensuring we negotiated some key inclusions and protection into our business sale agreement. Alex was a real ally ensuring that we negotiated the best possible outcomes and found solutions to areas where one didn’t seem to be present. His work alongside Melissa ensured a cohesive delivery of our complex sale – thank you both.
Alex Canham, Ed Beedham and the team did a tremendous job steering us through the sale of Chadney Bulgin. With so many CB Partners involved, their comprehensive presentation of the contracts, together with excellent communication throughout (vital in this type of deal), enabled both a fast & efficient sale process. Much appreciated.
I found Alex and Edward to be responsive, on point, quick to answer queries, professional, efficient and the ability to explain complex issues in layman’s terms. An excellent service and one I would recommend to all.
Alex and Ed were throughout very professional as you would expect, but also always available to settle our concerns and talk us through the procedures. Something that they clearly had plenty of experience at, which showed through and gave us confidence. They took control of the situation, kept us informed and moved swiftly to conclude the business sale, for which we were very grateful.
We appointed Herrington Carmichael to act for us in the sale of our Chartered Financial Planning business. From the outset we were impressed with Alex and Lucinda's professionalism. This impression was backed up by helpful and knowledgeable support from them and their team throughout the sale process. All aspects of the sale discussions were dealt with carefully and efficiently resulting in a satisfactory outcome for us as sellers.
Alex, Ed and the team at Herrington Carmichael provided us with excellent advice and support for our company sale, with their knowledge and experience making the process very efficient.
From the start we were impressed with Alex’s understanding of our needs and experience which no doubt helped with our transaction. The whole team were professional and attentive which was refreshing given the complexities involved. What impressed us most was the ability to convey quite technical matters in a way that could be understood.
Excellent level of service provided by Alex, Joel and the team. Our sale was not particularly straightforward, quality advice provided in a timely manner. I am not sure we could have completed our sale without them. Would highly recommend!
We have worked with Alex Canham and Melissa Deutrom at Herrington Carmichael on two separate acquisitions together with numerous general corporate activities. We have always found them to be highly responsive, timely and accurate. We would definitely recommend them to other financial services companies like ours.
Alex Canham is very knowledgeable - he also has a good appreciation of what is the minimum standard and what represents potentially less commercially needed aspects.
A sincere thank you to Yavan and the entire Herrington Carmichael team. You are an exceptionally committed group of individuals. Looking back, it’s impressive what we managed to accomplish over such a short period of time, dealing with a variety of issues that came up during the process. Working with Yavan, Chris, and Michelle was a pleasure. Thanks to all of you as well as the many others working behind the scenes.
Yavan and his team at Herrington Carmichael recently advised us on the assignment of two loans and associated security from third party lenders onto our books. Yavan provided advice of the highest quality and ensured the transactions completed swiftly. They were available whenever we needed to contact them and kept their advice commercially focused to our specific requirements. We have built a good relationship up with the whole team at Herrington Carmichael and would certainly recommend them.
I really enjoyed working with Matt and found him very responsive and helpful when I had any questions. He always got back to me in a timely manner and was very helpful. He’s a real credit to Herrington Carmichael and made the whole process straightforward.
After previous negative experiences with other solicitors, we contacted Herrington Carmichael as a new customer to help support buying a company and transferring shares from another director. Harry and his team were extremely helpful, patient and knowledgeable from the start. For Harry, nothing is too much from a small query to a larger piece of work. Harry is extremely approachable, friendly and professional. Harry kept us informed at every stage and tried to collate work together to keep costs reasonable, especially against the other side who were determined to drag the whole transaction out. We would definitely use Harry and his team again. They are very responsive and pragmatic. Highly recommended.
I would like to express my thanks to Harry Winkley, Joel Gocool and the team at Herrington Carmichael for their pro-active approach in our recent acquisition to the Surelock McGill Group of companies. A smooth transition working closely and professional within our set parameters, also within predicted budget. Many Thanks to the full team at HC.
I found Harry’s advice and support very professional, invaluable and reassuring.
We were very pleased with the service provided by Alex and Harry at Herrington Carmichael. Appointed approximately two months ahead of completion, they demonstrated exceptional diligence and attention to detail throughout. We’re delighted with the outcome and felt thoroughly looked after during the entire process. If you’re looking for a firm to support you through a business transaction, I would have no hesitation in recommending Herrington Carmichael.
There were some very late nights from the team to hit the deadline and they stayed super helpful & cheery even whilst we were quite stressed about it, which was definitely helpful. What I particularly liked about the team at Herrington Carmichael is that everyone seems like a “normal person” where the conversations & advice was presented in a way that was easy to understand and no-one minded follow-up questions as we wrapped our heads around things. The advice seemed actionable and I felt throughout that you understood what we were looking to achieve. HC were recommended to us as being responsive and diligent and that is exactly what we experienced too.
We found working with the team a positive experience. We had early contact with Alex who was reassuring and confident, but from then on, we dealt mainly and personally with Harry who we thought was excellent, especially in the final stages which were quite stressful for us.
It was clear to us from the outset that we were in safe hands and we very much appreciated having the reassurance of Alex and Harry’s ongoing support throughout the process.
Having appointed Herrington Carmichael to act for us in a complex and lengthy transaction, the decision proved to be a very good one. Alex, Harry and the team were knowledgeable, speedy and very willing to help with all aspects of our dealings. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Herrington Carmichael for their first class service.
Harry has been a rockstar throughout our transaction.

The first question most people need to ask themselves – is the dispute worth it? For instance, it might not be worth making a claim if it is going to cost you almost as much as you’re claiming.
Mediation is a much faster and cheaper option than going to court. Mediation has been around for a long time and would be carried out at an agreed venue (a solicitors or a hotel, but not at court) with each side in separate rooms and the Mediator shuttling between rooms helping you find that compromise acceptable to you both. If agreement is reached, that will be written down there and then, signed by both sides and can then be sent to the Court to be sealed. It will have the same authority as any other Court Order and as long as the agreed terms are then carried out, it brings the formal Court case to an end. Speak to our Mediators for more information.
