Ours was a long, complex property dispute which involved a life-altering sum of money. Alex’s specialist commercial and property litigation experience has brought about an EXCEPTIONAL win for us which, in part, I would put down to Alex’s prodigious skill in negotiation and mediation.

Despite being pitched against a very ‘challenging’ and difficult adversary, Alex maintained his astute pressure on our opponent to mediate, while steering us through the minefield of carefully orchestrated settlement offers that proved vital to our success in Court.

Through what was undeniably the most difficult 4 1/2 years of our lives, we found Alex and his colleague, Richard, unfalteringly patient and dedicated - always willing to explain the nuances of our legal argument. Whenever in receipt of some fallacious ‘war of words’ from our opponent’s solicitors, we were always heartened by the crucifying superior response that was immediately crafted by either Alex or Richard.

It was also a joy to observe a Judge’s own reliance in Court of Richard’s meticulous control of the sheer volume of paperwork that he had distilled into something manageable and logical.

Whilst always remaining mindful of costs, Helix were never afraid to pull in Counsel where needed and, ultimately, this teamwork led to a strategic and successful outcome for us.

Alex bailed me out when things got on top. I knew me and my business were right but pressure from the other side’s solicitors was mounting and weren’t listening to me. It could have downed my company if I hadn’t enlisted Alex who was great and available with absolutely no notice. He fought with me and we came out on top and in a strong position with all future threats of more action gone we can look forward to continuing trading and to a bright future.
