‘The Greene and Greene team are my absolute "go to". As well as providing practical and commercial advice, they explain the law very clearly and concisely. Greg and the team have spent time getting to know our business and understands the impact to our situation when giving us legal advice.’
‘Greg Jones - the pragmatic nature of the advice he provides and the speed of response is unique in my experience of other law firms. Greg also has a unique ability to distill complex matters into a way that is easy to understand without becoming condescending.’
‘They are experts in their field, willing to work collaboratively with specialist in other fields, curious and affable.’
- 'Selene Holden's fees were also reasonable compared to her London competitors. She clearly worked very hard on our case, and since it wasn't overstaffed, we feel as if we received a good-value service. We were able to reach the finishing line as opposed to have to settle early due to depletion of funds. This is important to building a long-term relationship and we have given her firm a lot more work subsequently as a result.'
- ‘Selene Holden is absolutely fantastic. She is a kind and compassionate person, but as a lawyer she is fierce, efficient and knowledgeable. She has a very good gut-instinct and is intuitive in her assessment of matters. Best of all, she really listens to you as a client and cares about working together to come up with solutions that the client is happy with. It is this ability to empathise and listen which really sets her apart.'
‘We have worked for three years with Angharad Ellis Owen on the majority of our employee-related legal matters. She is always available, very professional and very reliable. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any other SME.’
