Case Study Share Capital Purchase Requires Quick Turn-Around

Lee & Priestley has clients based all over the UK. With the use of e-mail and the operation
of efficient client service levels in relation to returning telephone calls Lee & Priestley can
provide a first class service wherever a client’s location.
A recent transaction involved an entrepeneur from Essex who was looking to purchase the
share capital of a company in Suffolk. The client had used local firms in the past but was
recommended to Lee & Priestley by his accountant.

The transaction timetable required a quick turn around of the documentation and regular
contact with the client. The volume of paperwork involved was typical for a standard
share sale.

Notwithstanding the distances involved the transaction proceeded to completion on
schedule and without any location based difficulties.
The client’s comments on his post-deal feedback form were “I was very pleased with all of
the services provided by the team from Lee & Priestley. Over the years I have dealt with
several solicitors and am finding it increasingly difficult to find effective legal firms,
particularly in the South East, where at first point of contact one is told of ever increasing
hourly rates only to experience an ever slower service and lack of commitment to advice
given”
“The work that has been carried out has been executed in an effective and speedy manner.
I have always received prompt and informative replies to my communications, some of
which have been within minutes. Certainly as a client my expectations have been far
exceeded when compared with the service, quality and price of other firms that I have
dealt with.
