Simply brilliant, would (and will!) be using again.
Dealt with Higgs LLP for the acquisition of a business within the finance broking space. Was introduced to Higgs through our accountancy business and could not be happier with the service. Timely, efficient and more than thorough. My thanks go to Richard Griffiths and in particular Matthew Allen who was a pleasure to deal with.
