What our clients say about us...
We are now sailing in the calm waters of a leased property, and the prospect of no hassle and a good rent for the next ten years. So thank you to you for suggesting Victoria: she has been wonderfully professional, diligent, and personally likeable. A great combination. ”
Jo van Heyningen,
Burghley Yard
Victoria helped us to complete an MBO, and without her ability to engage both professionally and personally with all of the relevant parties involved I feel sure that the deal would not have happened. Victoria provides the quality of legal advice you would expect to receive from a top 10 London firm, but with the personal touch. Larger firms underestimate (HW Business Law) Victoria at their peril! Victoria’s ability to deal with a wide variety of issues across our business means that we can really rely on her as our ‘in house’ legal team.”

I have engaged Helen several times over the years and always with great results. Helen led us through a major transaction and absolutely exceeded all expectations with her commitment and intellect. Fantastic interpersonal skills and hard commercial instincts, I would always go to Helen for guidance and legal support.”
George Bell, Managing Director
Peachtree Partners
Helen did a great job guiding us through the sale of Energy Scitech. She's very thorough, a formidable negotiator with a huge capacity to deliver a lot of work on time. This was a complex transaction and hard work - but we were very glad that Helen was on our side, rather than theirs. I would definitely recommend Helen to anyone looking for a hard-nosed, thorough solicitor.”
John Merrell,
Individual
Helen provided effective and valuable advice enabling us to negotiate a complex agreement to everyone's satisfaction. I would recommend her work and business approach.”

"It's always good to work with lawyers whose overriding objective is to get their clients to where they want to be as quickly and as painlessly as possible, always focussing on the important issues. There aren't enough of us around! " - Commenting on the collaboration between EMW LLP and HW Business Law LLP on a recent transaction ”

Last year I had discussions with Haines Watts Colchester our Company accountants regarding a share option scheme and preparing for a management buyout. The first phase was to implement the share option scheme and structure the Company in preparation for the MBO. Haines Watts Colchester suggested that I use the HW Business Law office to carry out the process as they were more familiar with the requirements. The Colchester office knowing our requirements attended the meetings which made the whole process very simple. There was a definite benefit of having the whole discipline under one banner. ”

“We have as a Company worked with Haines Watts for some time utilising their accountancy services and general tax advice. In the last few years we have undertaken some more detailed tax work with them and most recently legal services. The benefit of having your legal, tax and accountancy services within one organisation is that the various parts of the organisation are used to working together, often already have a business relationship formed and the information flow is simpler and easier”. ”
Carl Murray, Managing Director
Capital Cash Ltd
We as different companies have used Haines Watts and it's predecessor Warley and Warley since 1979 for all our accountancy work. One aspect of our business was always a bit staggered and out of sync , that being tying up our accountancy and legal framework transactions . The fact that we now use HWBusines Law together with Haines Watts accountancy makes for a much better cohesive approach to our business. Using the two together makes so much sense you have to ask the question , " Why didn't we do this done sooner ? "”
Gerwyn Vaughan,
Beauclere Homes
" We have employed Haines Watts for many years as our business has grown. As part of our growth and the need for more sophisticated advice , together with legal advice, we have been very pleased with the service given. Speed of access to senior partners has been invaluable especially in a recent financing arrangement."”
