Client Success Stories

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.

Andrew Jenkins

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.

Pavel Kudlac

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.

Tim and Anna Fellows

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.

William and Elizabeth Orenstein

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.
