What do others say

"Thank you so much for all your hard work, patience and support throughout. We could not have hoped for more, and are so pleased you and your team were responsible for our sale."

"I used Mills & Reeve for the first time on an acquisition transaction following a recommendation by our group legal counsel. This concluded last week after 15 months of difficult negotiations and delays caused by the vendors. We have received great service from Mills and Reeve. We have had one point of contact (Melissa) throughout who was able to maintain a good working knowledge across the months about all aspects of the deal. Queries and commercial decisions have been resolved in a straightforward manner without extra costs, and billing has been clear and justified upfront. I am now using the same team for another acquisition."

 

Supporting your ambitions

Melissa has worked on a wide variety of corporate transactions across a broad range of sectors covering entrepreneurs and small owner-managed businesses through to multimillion-pound cross-border transactions.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
