I recently sold my business. I was advised to use HC as they have experience in selling financial advisory companies. I have been delighted with the work that they did. They were thorough and quick to engage, and from a cost perspective, they met the quote that they had given at the outset. Most importantly, it was imperative that, with a relatively short window to operate in, we got the deal over the line before the new tax year... we completed on the 31st March. I am so pleased with all Joel and Dylan have done and would recommend HC highly.
We recently worked with Joel Gocool and Dylan Cutifani on the successful completion of our Management Buyout (MBO). Throughout the process, they provided clear advice and guided us confidently through what was a complex process. Their attention to detail, commercial understanding, and responsiveness helped ensure the deal progressed smoothly and efficiently. We particularly valued their ability to explain legal matters in straightforward terms and their proactive approach to resolving issues that arose. We would have no hesitation in recommending Joel or Dylan to any business considering an MBO.
I cannot thank Joel, Dylan and the wider Herrington Carmichael team enough for their outstanding support throughout the sale of my shares. What should have been a straightforward transaction became far more complex and protracted than anyone anticipated, with numerous delays and challenges along the way. Throughout the process, Joel and Dylan remained calm, professional, responsive and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. They provided clear, practical advice, kept me informed at every stage and worked tirelessly to keep the transaction moving forward despite repeated obstacles. Their attention to detail, persistence and ability to navigate difficult negotiations gave me complete confidence that my interests were being protected at all times.
Beyond their legal expertise, what stood out most was their genuine support. This was a stressful and emotionally draining transaction, and there were times when I felt like giving up. Joel and Dylan were always there to provide reassurance, explain the next steps and ensure I never felt that I was facing the process alone. I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, dedication and perseverance in bringing the transaction to a successful conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joel, Dylan and Herrington Carmichael to anyone looking for solicitors who combine exceptional legal expertise with outstanding client care.
