Testimonials

I had a tricky situation, a business divorce is how I refer to it, where I had to split from my co-owner after many years of friendship. Rishi was extremely helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. He consistently explained all my options in clear language and guided me through every step, helping me to make the right choices for myself and the business. I was told he specialised in private companies, specifically owner-managed businesses, and this really showed. I would highly recommend Rishi to anyone going through something similar.

Pricing

When it comes down to cost, nobody likes surprises. We will be open and transparent with you about our fees before commencing any work.

Our general practice is to charge on an hourly rate basis. Your matter will always be handled by a qualified solicitor and the hourly rate applied will depend on complexity, timescale and other applicable factors. Where it is appropriate to do so, we may agree a fixed fee for the work to be undertaken.

Any disbursements which we are obliged to pay to third parties on your behalf, such as filing or search fees, will be payable by you in addition to our costs.

VAT will be payable on our fees (and any relevant disbursements) at the prevailing rate.
