I found that John and his team took us through the whole process with as much ease as possible given the difficult time restraints trying to get the sale through before the budget. At times it was intense for both parties, but Higgs remained professional and patient at all times.
A great job well done and they executed the project within the demanding time scales
Thank you

Sale of our Compay
John Heaton and his team provided excellent service, advice and support throughout the sale process. I was very pleased with the services provided by Higgs LLP. Accordingly I would have no hesitation in recommending them as legal advisors in the sale of a private company.

Trusted legal partner
We have worked with Higgs since selling our business in 2021. This was a particularly challenging time as the backdrop to the process was Covid lockdowns. The team at Higgs, lead by John Heaton, gave us the assurance and confidence needed to navigate and always challenging time successfully - and get the result we were looking for! Indeed we chose Higgs because we felt we could have honest, straight conversations with John and that he was someone who we could relate to - not someone who was aloof. We have continued to work with Higgs as our legal partner in other business ventures.
