Great support from Julia Spies and her assistant Claire Baker
We employed Dunn & Baker to help us sell an agricultural barn and field. Julia Spies was professional, supportive and flexible, and showed creativity when that became necessary after unforseen legal complexities arose.

Sale of land
Julia Spies has been our commercial solicitor for a few years now and as always, we received an excellent service from Julia. Emails are responded to the same day without fail and the recent conveyancing transaction was dealt with very professionally and in an excellent timely manner. We would highly recommend Julia for anyone looking for a commercial legal representative.
