We worked with Nina on the sale of our book of insurance business and thankfully Nina was able to hold our hands through what is a very daunting process. She gave 100% and without her hard work I am not sure we would have been able to achieve the result. We would thoroughly recommend Leathes Prior and Nina.
I am extremely grateful to Nina Ryan and Leathes Prior Solicitors for their legal advice and guidance during the sale of my shareholding in a private company. Thanks to them the terms of the sale were successfully negotiated, the legal work efficiently executed and a timely completion achieved. I am very satisfied with the outcome
From start to finish Paul and Nina were in complete control of our affairs offering nothing short of perfection in communication to complete the acquisition of my company
I found Richard and Nina to always strike that perfect balance of taking care of my position and being practical and commercial at the same time; advising me on which issues really were worth fighting for and which ones really did not matter. They were always timely and responsive, and their proposed weekly zoom call with the buyer and their solicitors, meant that issues that arose got quickly resolved. It was a complex transaction which completed spot on time with no last minute hitches or dramas.
There was good communication between the solicitor dealing with our case and liaising between all parties involved, leading to the successful completion. Solicitor was courteous, informative and helpful in dealing with matters, all went smoothly and in a good time frame. Would highly recommend and refer Leathes Prior Solicitors to prospective new customers/friends.
