Share buyback advice and transacting
I have worked with Higgs on a number of transactions over the past 15 years. They are always there to give great advice and be pragmatic and commercial. They are careful with the detail but good at the bigger picture. We have continued to use them as they always do a good job and have strength in depth to be able to advise on all parts of the transaction.

Legal advice re disposal of a business and my employment
The firm was engaged by me to advise me personally on multiple issues regarding the disposal of the family business (of which I was one, minority shareholder) and the associated termination of my employment as Managing Director of the company.
The expertise of multiple team members was drawn upon to assist, and I found all to be approachable, empathetic, highly capable and responsive. Special mention to Tim Jones, who was my principal contact - he was entirely supportive throughout the process, blending a warm, personal service with complete professionalism. He was even good enough to meet me at short notice on a Sunday morning (via Teams) to offer his advice.
I could not have dealt with what was an entirely unfamiliar, and uncomfortable, experience without the support of the team at Higgs. Thank you, all.

always a pleasure
I have been working with Higgs on pretty much all corporate matters for over a decade now. I am blessed that I get a team I have worked with for all that time (with a few ins and outs along the way) headed up by Jamie Partington. They know me, and I know them. Works really well. Advice is always spot on, but with a good blend of practical.
Thoroughly recommended.
