Retirement of a Director/Shareholder
Higgs LLP acted for us to prepare all of the relevant documentation for the retirement of a Director/Shareholder. The work was done by Geoff Kettle and Laura Anderson-Yates, both of whom were professional, knowledgeable and willing to explain everything in terms we could understand. The work was done in a very short timescale and at a reasonable cost. I wouldn't hesitate to instruct them again on any future matters.

Partnership law
Geoff and the firm have advised me on partnership disputes on several occasions including partnership and commercial issues as well as helping with a business acquisition. Would highly recommend them.

Choice or No Choice
Fantastic experience Called Higgs office during the afternoon and by 8.30 pm Geoff called me, to get more information from us
From that point onwards, I felt confident that Geoff and his team were working for and with us
There were times when the business buyer were being difficult but during those periods, Geoff and Emily were excellent
It was helpful for us to have Geoff explain why the buyers' solicitors were taking positions, some reasonable and others pedantic.
Finally, having Geoff and team working beyond 11.45 pm on 7th September to enable completion was really appreciated
Higgs was recommended to me by a friend (CW)who I socialise with I thanked him last week when we were on holiday in our motorhomes in Dorset
I really enjoyed the discussions with Geoff and his team, the meetings were purposeful , precise but not rushed and action points were acted on promptly
This sale was emotional for us as we were selling a business that we had set up and worked in for 15 years , we had made many good friends and employed some great staff too , so it was more that just selling the business that we had to cope with Geoff kept us 'grounded' and kept us sane, well almost .

Business sale
We recently completed the sale of our business. Geoff and his team steered and supported us throughout the whole process. We always received prompt responses to any questions or queries and they definitely shouldered some of the stress which is an inevitable part of any such transaction. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
