“There is a clear understanding and passion for the sector that allows us to make legal decisions and give advice based on the reality of the situation. People do it, the human touch and how they know our academy trusts and how it works. You listen, understand and collaborate with the right colleagues; to ensure we receive the best possible advice. Have a group of experts to help with. “The firm stands out for its ability to mobilize a team of strong lawyers, all capable of providing high-level legal advice. The commercial real estate team demonstrates impressive teamwork skills and the ability to cover large volumes of work. The Burnetts team advises clients on a variety of issues such as complex TUPE issues or employment law aspects of acquisitions and defends employers in litigation. The additional services of a human resources professional complement the team`s legal practice. Newcastle`s David Gibson, who joined the firm in June 2021, replaced Natalie Ruane, who left in August 2021 to set up her own firm, as head of the firm. He is assisted by associate lawyer Anna Lovett in Carlisle. “The Mincoffs Employment team, led by Nick Smith, provides a highly efficient and reliable resource for our employment law matters.
Each request addressed to Mincoffs is handled competently and professionally, and without exception, competent and compliant advice is given in writing the same day and often with reminder. We particularly appreciate the annual provisioning base for our relationship with Mincoffs. This allows us to reliably factor HR legal fees into our annual budget. “Muckle has been a true supporting partner, both legal and commercial, and we look forward to continuing our successful relationship as we advance our growth plans. With a well-known credit clientele, Burnetts focuses primarily on the real estate, agriculture and healthcare sectors, and also regularly addresses issues related to bank documents.

His legal knowledge is exceptional. His commercial sense is also perfect. “People are easy to manipulate and, in addition to providing sound legal advice, they work with the client on a human basis. I have seen them very well helping inexperienced and nervous clients throughout the process. “Angela Carver is simply the reason we use Sinton`s LLP. She is always available, responds quickly and treats every request with the same respect. She has taken the time to understand our company, philosophy and approach and takes this into account in her advice. She guides our managers through situations that arise, offers coaching, support and advice. It helps them learn from each situation, much more than just legal advice. CLIENT: Mike Eggleston COMPANY/COMPANY: CAV TESTIMONIAL: “CAV has worked with Muckle for many years to provide legal advice and support.
Most recently, we deployed their sales team to help negotiate contracts with customers and protect intellectual property. The support and advice was excellent, always in our time and allowed us to achieve positive results. We will definitely continue to work with the team! “Although we have many larger customers, we are treated as if we were one of their customers with the highest billing. One of the most important strengths is consultation in digestible terms. As people with an entrepreneurial rather than legal background, this is something we really appreciate. In addition, we are always quickly introduced to the appropriate departments when our first conversation is with someone who does not specialize in that particular area. There is always someone advising us in the short term, which is invaluable as a fast-moving start-up. “The team really understands the culture and challenges of our organization. They are very helpful and quick to respond and can take care of complex legal issues and give clear advice.
Nothing is too much effort and they really feel like they are part of our team and not an external supplier. CLIENT: Grahame Pickering MBE COMPANY/FIRM: Great North Air Ambulance TESTIMONIAL: “John Devine has been advising GNAAS for 12 years on a range of legal matters, from charity to buying and selling our helicopters. I really enjoyed working with the Mickle team. They understand the key issues facing charities and their business structures, so they can help reap the full benefits of not-for-profit status. They always provided clear and pragmatic advice regarding any legal issues we encountered, and John was always available to discuss issues even outside office hours, which I find reassuring as CEO. I would gladly recommend Muckle to any charity. » “In-depth agricultural and rural legal knowledge” “Muckle`s employment team is a true expert in its field of law, which they relate to human reality and apply to employment situations.

They respond to our needs, anticipate challenges and ensure that contact is meaningful and appropriate and not constant and unsolicited. “The team is able to break the noise and provide sound business advice without the need for legalese.” “Stephen Elliott, Team Leader: Grounded and down-to-earth, highly experienced, effective in consulting. Also very adept at reducing complex legal arguments into language easily accessible to a layman.
