Jack Stephenson stood out in the firm as his approach was timely, informative, supportive and clear. I wanted a sound understanding of liability and gain, a rationale on cost, and to be clear on the process and timeline. Jack delivered on this consistently and took my many questions with understanding and patience. I don’t think I’d have had the confidence to work with a typical solicitor, but Jack broke down those preconceived ideas very quickly.

Jack answers out of hours and even when on holiday. Even with sticky situations, Jack is always calm, cool and polite (and everyone knows how clients can get irate). Totally professional and helpful always.

‘ would like to support Jack Stephenson for his team leadership and overall control of the process and I’d like to give a special thanks to Kerry Southworth for the time and effort she put into her data room … so much information to collate in a restricted time scale and Kerry was exemplary.

His success has been due to a tireless work ethic and always being at the end of the phone to assist on any query that I have had in a timely, personable and professional manner.

He cares about his clients problems and always gives good, clear advice. Price transparency is always excellent.

They explained every step clearly, were always available to answer questions and made what could have been a very stressful process, feel smooth and well managed. I felt completely supported from start to finish…thank you Jack & Jess, I am incredibly grateful!
