James has been incredibly helpful and flexible with a recent review of a complex framework agreement that was required with a very fast turnaround. Not only was James very clear, open and understanding about our commercial objectives, but helped us understand the nuances of legal phrasing and the associated risks for consideration. With calls and discussions that often ran late into the evening, we were very happy with the final outcome, which was successful for our team. We highly recommend, and hope to work with James again soon.

We felt that Gardner Leader's Thatcham branch were very professional, friendly and happy to explain things in layman terms. We were kept informed about what was happening at all times with the sale of our property. The whole experience was straight forward and completion took place when we had been advised. We would be happy to use Gardner Leader Thatcham branch again.

Ash and her assistant Esther provided an excellent service. I was kept informed at all times and correspondence was dealt with promptly and thoroughly. I cannot fault the attention to detail, clear explanations at all points of the process, and kind support given to me. It made a difficult time much more bearable.

I asked Gardner Leader to act for me in the purchase of a flat - I had some tight deadlines to meet and so requested they complete for me as soon as possible. Their service was excellent throughout the process and they completed for me ahead of schedule. Very impressive, and all this for the lowest cost of the various quotes I obtained beforehand. All of the GL staff I dealt with were excellent but Carole Robinson deserves particular praise for her diligence and meticulous attention to detail. Many thanks Carole.
From this experience I would certainly be happy to recommend Gardner leader to anyone.

We were recommended Emma's conveyancing services by a friend, and we're really pleased she was available to work on our residential property purchase! We were reallt satisfied with the service and attention to detail, and Emma explained every step of the process in layman's terms, which was appreciated as we were first-time buyers! We especially appreciated the effort the team put in to help us complete before the stamp duty changes.

What a fantastic firm. All round superb service and particular thanks to our incredibly impressive litigation lawyer, Daniel Smith. We were in a very nasty property dispute (that had gone on for 3 months), feeling bullied, desperate and hopeless. One week and three emails from Daniel later, we are free and receiving the money we are owed back. Hurrah and thank goodness for lawyers like this!

Very good, friendly & helpful, put at ease right from the start, shame about the VAT being added to the bill quite a shocker, but that's down to the tax man, impressed
