Testimonials
Trusted Wollens with the sale of my share of a business that I had started from scratch some 20 years ago so as you can imagine this was quite a sensitive journey for me. Have never done anything like this before so didn’t know quite what to expect, expectations and reality are quite different, but Wollens have your best interests at heart so you can’t rush a good job. The sale has now all gone through and I can move on with the next part of my life. I thank Wollens and both Emma’s very much for all their hard work.
Wollens have become the preferred legal team for myself and my companies, and Challenges Property Ltd.
Negotiation skills and ability to have difficult conversations with difficult clients.
I worked on a transaction with Dominic Hollingsworth. He was extremely collaborative and went the extra mile for the client. Dominic was very pragmatic in his approach and his vast experience gave a lot of confidence. Dominic was highly commercial and a pleasure to deal with.
Partner led – each partner takes an active role in cases and overseas their respective teams. This supports deliverable outcomes. Large enough practice to have expertise within locality and across the three sites, they are very joined up, acting as one team.
Emma Reed – Pro-active and engaged. Able to articulate possible solutions, giving practical advice and standing behind her decisions.
