Excellent first job
This is the first time Wake Smith has acted for the Council. It was a medium size property acquisition and leaseback. The work was done well within the timescales and we enjoyed working with Neil (Salter). We found him responsive, helpful and thorough on the legal side of things. He was also, pleasingly, keen to stick to the fee quote so far as he was able. So, while the fee was larger than quoted, the uplift was for understandable and justifiable reasons. As ever with a new legal relationship, we needed to work out a few practical matters but this was done without fuss. Neil was also proactive in contacting me to work out an internal issue at the Council's end which was affecting the flow of our instructions to him which was appreciated. All in all, we would be happy to work with Wake Smith again should the need arise.
