Review Summary

Most clients praise the firm's lawyers as "best lawyers" and "very helpful," with one specifically noting their "wealth of knowledge navigating corporate law" and recommending them highly. However, one negative review makes serious allegations of corruption and illegal activity, specifically naming Nigel McFadden as dishonest and acting in conflicts of interest, and Alex Reith as untrustworthy. Another client defends the firm, calling the negative review "completely inaccurate and untrue" and suggesting it was written by someone with an agenda.

Leon WoodLocal GuideEdited 7 years ago

This Company and its directors are corrupt. They also conduct illegal activity. There is evidence of payouts to protect their interests. The Directors do not operate in accordance with the law society's best practice guidelines. Do not use this unlawful corrupt firm. Nigel Mcfadden is dishonest and acts in a conflict of interest with multiple clients. This corrupt man has been before the disciplinary board many times. Do not use him he cannot be trusted. Alex Ruth not a straight bone in the man.
