Company Share Buyback

What a wonderful professional my solicitor, Zulaika Mehmood is. Responsive, professional, polite and a great sense of humour! Nothing was too much trouble. Zulaika was cool under pressure & kept me informed and updated throughout the process.
The outstanding attribute is Zulaika's attention to detail, backed by her expertise - perfect and very much appreciated.
I also worked with Nick Dawson & Harry Hazelwood who were as equally professional, responsive, polite and made the whole process move seamlessly.
Nick's reassuring, calm, detailed advice & explanations put an end to any worries I had.
The before & aftercare was second to none.
Three professionals who are a credit to themselves & Forbes.

Great Communication and advice: tenacious and determined

My family and I instructed Tom Howcroft and Forbes Solictors to help us retrieve the value of a property. The case involved probate law, and the possiblity of constructive and/or resulting trusts.
My family were up against a very dishonourble party, who used every underhand trick in the book to prolong the case.
Forbes at all times acted with dignity, with a full understanding of the law, with a focus on the outcome, and adapted to any of the opposing party's latest deflections.
The outcome was successful; and my family were pleased. It was a difficult case.

NDA Claim - Response

We contacted Stephen at Forbes Solicitors for support with a letter received from a previous associate claiming that we had broken an Non Disclosure agreement which was a clearly false claim. Stephen provided us with high level professional advise on a number of options available to us in response. Stephen was available for discussion around the merits of each option and along with his colleagues provided excellent client care to agree suitable action.
Stephen then provided a full response to this claim which robustly represented us in clear correspondence with our opponents.
I would not hesitate in using Stephen and Forbes Solicitors again or recommending them to others to confidently provide advice and support at the required level.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
