‘I have worked with solicitors and law firms in the housing sector for over 20 years, and Ashfords have been without doubt the most prompt, responsive, and knowledgeable to date. They never fail to respond quickly, accurately, and providing great advice and insight. They make the legal parts of a project a pleasure.’
- 'They all excel in putting law into plain English, keeping things simple, and working hard to help us achieve the outcomes we desire upon engaging them.'
- 'I have found that with competitors emails and documents can be overly complex and filled with legal jargon, billings can be obfuscated, and individuals always busy and hard to get hold of. None of that happens with Ashfords, they make working with them a breeze and I would recommend them to anyone.'
‘Very commercial and understand how we operate and what is important to us.’
‘Ruth Yates is great to work with - she has grasped what is important to our organisation and raises issues that haven't been considered previously.’
