A pre purchase review of the legal documents provided a clear list of issues that needed addressing and the maximum amount I should bid.

Laura Sanderson of Wake Smith Solicitors represented us recently negotiating a complex commercial lease. The service we received was exceptional. The high level of legal expertise was clear from the start. Professional but approachable and always available for any question however minor. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Laura Sanderson has acted for me several times for a business restructuring, a house purchase and again on commercial lease negotiations. She is always professional but personal, and Wake Smith itself is a really polished operation, with great modern facilities, board rooms etc. I just wouldn't go anywhere else now. Recommend highly.
