Testimonials
‘Cooper Burnett LLP is a local Kent firm but has the punch of a London firm. The partners take time to learn the needs of your business, so it feels like a very boutique approach to law. I’ve worked with the firm for some years and they truly understand the requirements of our business.’
‘The people are Cooper Burnett’s greatest strength along with their amazing levels of knowledge too. The care and attention they give you is second to none.’
‘We could not have managed the sale of the business without the sterling help, advice, guidance and magnificent support from the legal team at Cooper Burnett LLP.’
‘Victoria Sampson goes over and above to help clients. She is highly responsive and articulate. She is easy to work with, down-to-earth and knocks the spots off the lawyers we have to deal with.’
‘Victoria Sampson more than proved she knew her business, I absolutely knew she was looking after my business. Nusrat Qureishi was my first port of call and without exception was amazing. Nusrat was informative, gave very sound legal advice and was always contactable. To be honest I don’t think I have ever felt so comfortable dealing with a company, they get a 10/10 from me.’
‘Everyone we encountered from Cooper Burnett was very polite, helpful and professional. I have recommended them to a number of my clients and friends.’
‘Victoria Sampson was the lead in the sale of a division of our business. Victoria is a pleasure to deal with as she gave us confidence whilst negotiating the terms of the agreement. She had the experience to be very direct with us whilst being personable and honest. She made the whole process a lot less stressful than it could have been.’
‘The corporate finance team is very focused, efficient and driven by customer satisfaction. They communicate and liaise well with all relevant parties. They work hard to ensure client goals are securely met. We have used them for over 20 years and they have always been consistent.’
