“Giles acted for me on the sale of my company, Warwick Butchart Associates Limited, to a national consolidator. His expertise acting for vendors of IFAs and Financial Planning firms was clear from the start and was very helpful throughout this complex and demanding transaction. I was very pleased with the quality of his advice and felt reassured that he could remain calm under pressure. He has excellent communication skills and we built up a good rapport, which gave me confidence that I was in good hands.”
