“GL acted in the sale of our business. They were very thorough in their analysis of the contract and assisted us in negotiating changes in our favour. Our solicitor kept us informed throughout the process and we would recommend that anybody buying or selling a business engages the service of GL.”
Ben Olsen
Grosvenor Consultancy Limited

“The team were impressive and professional at all times. They work well under pressure, their response times are reassuringly quick and they deliver a very personal service. Absolutely first-class.”
Chambers & Partners 2016

“Having first been recommended to use GL back in 2009, we rapidly found them not only professional but personable in their approach, using them initially for their services involving a complex employee dispute. Thereafter, we have employed them for HR advice along with all our property matters, it was therefore a natural choice to ask them to represent us in the merger with Grant & Stone. Again, they were able to guide us through what at first is a daunting process to achieve a highly satisfying outcome.”
