Ben at MDLS was extremely helpful and prompt. Good at chasing the other parties when needed and very responsive to my questions. And a good sense of humour too!

Top class service - highly knowledgeable and empathetic

My experience with Nathan from Legal Studio was absolutely top class and I’d provide more than a 5 star rating if I could!

I had a complex employment matter and the situation was challenging in terms of UK law, and as somebody who is neurodivergent it was critical that I found the right representation and advice. I had a huge amount of data and details that I needed Nathan to go through for me to be able to tell my story and present the supporting facts. He sought to understand the full background as well as the situation I needed advice on, and provided his expert input whilst being both empathetic and pragmatic in his approach.

Nathan’s style of working with me was collaborative to ensure we were always aligned which is what I needed, as well as me being able to feel heard. Overall we achieved a successful outcome and I don’t know if I’d have reached that point with another solicitor who may have been less able to work with my quirks along with the less-than-ideal circumstances.

Highly recommend based on this experience.

Excellent Experience, Highly Recommend

This is the first time I have had to engage a solicitor so was completely unsure of what to expect. John had been personally recommended (which is always a good sign). From the initial contact with John he was very helpful and explained the process in detail. He kept me fully informed at each stage and was happy to answer any questions or queries I had in a manner that was easy for me to understand which as a novice to the process was much appreciated. The case has now been resolved, within the parameters given in meeting one and I am more than happy with the conclusion. I have kept his details just in case I require assistance again and even if it wasn't in his direct remit to assist, based on this experience, I would be more than happy to use another solicitor at this company. Highly recommend.

Outstanding Service

Thank you Andrew and Legal Studio for quickly advising and getting me to completion on an international services contract. All of your communication was clear, non-jargonny and pragmatic. You kept to the fixed price that you had quoted meaning no unpleasant surprises at the end. I have already recommended you to others and you will be my go-to law firm going fowards.

Would heartily recommend Ben

Ben massively helped me with extending the lease on my flat, so I could sell quickly and without fuss. He explained the process clearly and kept in touch at every stage. I'm really pleased with the outcome – it's a great relief to have it all buttoned up. Plus, I believe his fees to be very reasonable.

Ben Colenutt / Legal Studio

Ben Colenutt was frequently recommended as an expert in property law in my local area online blog, and I engaged him to handle my lease extension. The case was not without complications and delays, but thanks to Ben's vast professional knowledge, experience and perseverance we got there in the end. He then also followed the matter up to make sure the new lease was registered promptly. He was always available to speak on the phone and replied promptly to my emails. I can happily recommend Ben and would use again should the need arise.
