The team are first rate, knowledgable, easy to deal with and client-friendly.
Highly experienced operators with the ability to think outside the box.
They take a sensible pragmatic approach to a contentious situation. Their legal analysis of the issue is good and they provide a number of options to me as the client as to how to move forward.
We have worked with Simkins for over 35 years. They know our business and their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to understand our requirements have been invaluable to the success of the LCP Group in our acquisitions, disposals and refinancing transactions.
Our company has benefited from Simkins' erudite advice and support whilst establishing itself.
David O'Dwyer and the Simkins team were instrumental in guiding us through our recent lease agreement in London; his expertise and dedicated approach ensured an efficient and successful negotiation.
