We contacted Zanthe for support with navigating restrictive covenant clauses, she was super responsive to our initial enquiry and set up a consultation call very rapidly for us. On the call she provided us with very detailed, clear advice and took the time to walk us through different scenarios and what to expect. At the end of the call we had everything we needed to be confident of our next steps. Working with Zanthe is an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend her.
