Guvvy – My business has been acquired by RSK Ltd, an outstanding group that will create an environment that will allow my business to flourish.  I am very happy with the outcome especially through the covid period.
I would like to genuinely thank Mackrell for helping me through the legal process every step of the way in a practical manor. The process can be demanding at times and Mackrell were always on hand to advise through to completion.

Guvvy – We would like to thank you for guiding us through what turned out to be a very challenging process. After first speaking with you, we had no doubt in trusting that you would do your best for us and you didn’t disappoint.

You were there with us every step of the way, always responding in a timely manner when we needed you and presenting us with all information in a clear and easily understood way.
We greatly appreciated your support and professionalism and would definitely recommend you to others.

Just a few weeks after meeting you, I am relaxing the morning after completing the sale of my business knowing the decision to work with you was instrumental in bringing about the exact conclusion I hoped for.

Company X wanted to personally thank Mackrell for the service they provided to both himself and the shareholders: “the team at Mackrell have been with us every step of our sale journey. Their commitment, strategic and legal experience, provided reassurance and a great outcome for us as sellers. The sale was delivered during the Covid pandemic and Mackrells professionalism was key in keeping the transaction on track for a successful completion.”

While this rollercoaster of buying and selling businesses is your daily grind it is unlikely that I will ever do this again.  I just wanted to thank you all, you have all shown me great kindness in dealing with this with sensitively.  I consider having had you all on my team a great privilege.  You have worked with great professionalism and consideration – Gentlemen I thank you

Guvvy Sandhu – It was not an easy process due to COVID resulting in an aborted sale however with your help we managed to secure progress with a previous bidder bringing the sale to completion.

It was great that you progressed the legal matter without unnecessary referrals to myself and your dedication at all hours of the day and night certainly helped.

Thank you once again.

Hi Guvvy

It’s good to have experienced your services and know you are excellent at what you do.

Our local solicitors can’t offer the same service levels.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Guvvy and his Team who were extremely professional and thorough in dealing with the recent sale of my business. They definitely went beyond the call of duty providing invaluable advice and ensuring the deal was completed to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate in recommending Guvvy if you are looking for a lawyer when selling your Business.

Many thanks to Guvvy Sandhu and his team at Mackrell Solicitors for their highly professional service in acting for us on the sale of our business. Any queries were quickly addressed and at all times they fairly but firmly acted on our behalf to achieve the best outcome for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Guvvy and Mackrells to anyone intending to buy or sell a business.

Guvvy – Money has been received! Thank you so much for all your patience and professionalism!

Thank you all for making this process as smooth as possible.
