WHAT THEY SAY

“We have used the services of Denise Walker and her team for many years and undoubtedly will continue to do so. As Managing Director of a group of companies based in Merseyside, I have, over the years, had to rely on accurate and timely advice from Denise Walker and her team with regard to many areas of Corporate and Commercial issues. From complex supplier contracts to business restructuring and all parts in between, I have always valued the legal advice provided by her. Her ability to very quickly cut through the “white noise” of commercial issues and summarise the problem and the legal requirements of dealing with issues has always impressed me. Equally important is this advice is always provided in a down to earth, common sense manner and strips away the “legalese” jargon which can often accompany such commercial issues. I would recommend her services to anyone needing, accurate, cost effective and timely advice in all Corporate and Commercial decisions.”
