Client Testimonials

• "I had previously used Andrew Kormornick at Business Lawyers Direct for a care home sale and now used him for a care home purchase.

  The purchase was very complex involving multiple banks, brokers, solicitors as well as third parties who had debentures on some of my Companies.

  There were numerous deadlines at various stages that we had to meet and I was grateful that Andrew went over and beyond to achieve those deadlines - even foregoing a planned family commitment on the evening of December 23rd to get the exchange completed. I received his text shortly after 9.00pm that evening confirming the exchange.

  I was extremely happy with the quality and service provided by Business Lawyers Direct and will use them again for my next care home purchase!"

• "Andrew Kormornick of Business Lawyers Direct recently acted for me in the sale of my retail and online business, Armorica in Petersfield, Hampshire. I have to say that I have been most impressed with the professionalism of the service provided and the quality of client care that Andrew provided. During what proved to be protracted and complex dealings with an institutional landlord, Andrew and Business Lawyers Direct provided invaluable advice coupled with a truly professional approach."
  
  Valerie Brown - Sale of E-commerce Internet Business
  Hampshire

• "I was recommended to Business Lawyers Direct by the agents who had just agreed a sale of the business that I'd run with my wife for many years. We were very sceptical at first - not knowing about the legal process, how long it would take and wondering whether the Solicitor would really look after us and protect our interests. We were planning for our retirement having worked very hard over many years and didn't want anything to go wrong.
  
  I can honestly say that our decision to use Business Lawyers Direct to do the legal work was the right one. From the start, they proved to be professional as well as very easy to talk to. There were a number of issues that my wife and I were concerned about (staff, stock, orders, equipment on lease, timing etc) and I'm delighted to say that they explained what we could do and what we couldn't do very clearly.
  
  I was particularly worried about my staff as some of them had been working for me and my wife for many years. The solicitors at Business Lawyers Direct were able to reassure me that all my employees would be protected which was something of a relief to us - and to them!
  
  The sale went much more smoothly than we expected and we'd have no hesitation in recommending Business Lawyers Direct to anyone who's selling a business."

  Michelle Foulerton - Florist Business sale
  Windermere, Lake District

• "When I put my shop on the market, it took quite a long time until the agents found me a genuine buyer. Once I knew the Buyer had the money, I was desperate to get it sold as soon as possible in case he changed his mind.
  
  I'd used Business Lawyers Direct before and knew that they'd be on the ball and would push things along quickly. I was half way through my Lease and realised that the shop couldn't be sold without permission from my Landlords. With help from the agents, my Solicitor managed to get references from the Buyer and pass them on to the Landlord's solicitor very quickly. He probably saved 2 or 3 weeks by doing this very early on. In fact, I remember last time they acted for me, I was impressed because they seem to anticipate things and deal with issues as they arise, before they become problems.
  
  This time, they even managed to complete the sale on the same day that we exchanged contracts and the money was in my account the next day.
  
  Believe me, selling a business is not easy, but the solicitors at BLD are speedy, thorough and make it as easy as possible to get the job done."

• "We received excellent professional service from Business Lawyers Direct in our recent commercial purchase and the set up of our company.
  
  Andrew is thorough, honest and direct so it is easy to work with him. He is flexible with call times and we were able to discuss matters with him in the evenings. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed and provided important advice. In spite of all the hurdles we faced he managed to pull everything together and we completed as planned. I highly recommend Business Lawyers Direct."
  
  Dr Diana Anderson - Tower Guest House

• "I have recently purchased the lease of a pub in the Yorkshire Dales. Business Lawyers Direct were recommended to me and Andrew Kormornick handled the settlement for me.
  
  It was a very difficult transaction as there were many past mistakes in the leases. Andrew located and corrected all the previous errors ensuring that the leases to both the pub and the bottle store located across the street were correctly transferred into my name.
  
  Another difficulty was the number of changes to the contract by the sellers-some at the very last minute.
  
  At all times Andrew worked diligently to protect my rights, to ensure that every piece of paper was in order, took the time to explain and advise on what was best to do.
  
  He was very approachable, always returned calls and worked very late into the night on several occasions to ensure the purchase went as smoothly as possible. His patience amazed me.

  I would thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone buying or selling a hotel, pub or any licensed premises and, should I ever decide to purchase another business or decide to sell this one in the future, Andrew is the solicitor I will turn to."
