"We have been working with the Employment Team at Hopson Solicitors for almost a year now and have been very pleased with every aspect of the service delivered.
I would say the Hopson team have exceeded our expectations in every area and with them, in a short space of time we have resolved a number of long standing legacy issues that we were struggling with and I am confident now that we have a framework that is practical, robust, fully compliant with the various legal requirements that we are obligated to meet and future proof across all aspects of our HR activity.
Whilst Andréa herself is well regarded for the extent of her knowledge, it is her accessibility, speed of response and personable approach, from the factory floor to Board level, that has stood out for me.
Andréa and the Hopson team have proven to have the ability to rapidly understand the issues that we face as a business and this, combined with their refreshingly pragmatic, commercial approach and desire to ‘get things done’ helps to ensure that our business can progress as it needs to in what is a competitive, and increasingly contentious, market place.
In summary, 10/10 for the service and full confidence that we are in very safe hands."
Peter Santo, CEO, Schlegel International
"The way in which Guy and his team dealt with our legal requirements was excellent. When requiring sound & prudent Legal advice during a company re-structuring process, the last thing you want is the process to hit a snag. Guy ensured all formalities were clearly laid out and agreed by all parties prior to the transaction being duly completed. Not an easy task when dealing with a foreign shareholder.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Hopson Solicitors to other businesses."
Mrs Jose Bosse & Mr Jensen Bosse - Bosse Interspice Ltd
"From an HR user point of view I have found the advice given to me by Hopson Solicitors to be helpful, in depth without being too full of legal jargon, prompt, and articulate. They have been able to advise me on how to deal with potentially difficult situations in such a way as to calm troubles waters, whilst remaining to the point.
Draft letters in particular have proven extremely useful as they are very well written and cover all necessary details."
Angela Sinclair, Office Manager, Schlegel International
"No nonsense advice when needed"
Director, Calbarrie Compliance Services Ltd
"We have worked with Hopson Solicitors for a number of years, the vast majority of our work involving Andréa and the Employment Department.
Andréa quickly understands the often urgent issues that face our business and our sector. She delivers workable solutions with a no nonsense approach. Her input to our business is hugely valuable."
James Locke, Director, Verton Limited (t/a Greentree-Caplugs)
We have worked with Guy for a number of years. He quickly understands the needs of our business and his focus on proactive prevention rather than reactive cure is exceedingly refreshing.
Bruce Stevens, Director, Infusion GB Limited
"I have had the pleasure of working with Guy over a number of months and what could have been an extremely tedious exercise has been made a bearable and dare I say it, at times, enjoyable process.
His accessibility and speed of response is a refreshing change, as is his down to earth approach. In terms of added value, Guy’s business acumen means he is a sound business adviser as well as a lawyer, and his contribution over the preceding months has been invaluable. I have no hesitation is using Guy’s services and those of the firm, again."
Peter Johnson, Managing Director, Petface Limited
"Our software & data services business has grown considerably in recent years, with many new commercial contract formats being needed as a result. Guy and Andrew have a wonderful knack of very quickly understanding our needs, and through their consultative approach, which can include conversing directly with our clients, they have a proven track record of creating contracts that work, first time.
For a developing company like ours, Hopson Solicitors are, in effect, our legal department, meaning we can concentrate on what we know best, happy in the knowledge that they're there when needed. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Steve Bilton, Sales Director, Evolution Software
“Andrew has been advising us for over a year now and has consistently provided us with excellent commercial and legal advice.
Andrew’s advice is clear, concise and based on an invaluable understanding of our business which ensures that we are comfortable entering into relationships with our Clients which are viable from both a legal and commercial perspective.
We would definitely recommend Andrew as our Lawyer of choice to other businesses.”
Prudence Staite, Creative Director, Food is Art
"Guy and Andréa are always available and have, at times, worked around the clock to help us achieve our goals. I would happily recommend Hopson Solicitors as commercial advisers – no matter what size your business."
Pete Cassidy - In2Print part of Commercial Group.
I used the services of Hopson Solicitors for a Company Share Purchase Agreement. It was the first time I had bought a company and Andrew ensured all was managed professionally and explained in clear and jargon-free way. I thoroughly recommend their services for a company purchase.
Robert Treschi - Director, Bluebird Care (Stevenage and North Herts)
As our business has grown over the last 21 years so has the amount of my time that has been swallowed up fighting for the recovery of bad debts. The prevalence of opportunistic insolvency to avoid debts is a significant threat to legitimate businesses. This has damaged our balance sheet and al lot of time has been lost which should have been spent running my business. An introduction to Tim Wheeler by a customer significantly changed this and a few simple tweaks to our terms and conditions has enabled us to pass over all these issues to Hopson Solicitors who take all this stress and time wasting away.
Alexander Golesworthy - Managing Director, Timberpride Limited
We have dealt personally with Tim Wheeler for many years and have had faultless service from Tim and his team. In such an important part of any business it is essential that you can have someone ‘on tap’ to discuss heightened issues at a moment’s notice and Tim will always make himself available on such occasion. I can highly recommend Tim’s approach and manner when it comes to a debt recovery and dispute resolution.
Paul Bence - Managing Director, George Bence Group
I am pleased to give a testimonial for Mr Tim Wheeler and Hopson Solicitors for their litigation & debt recovery services. I have found it to be of excellent value for recovery of overdue debts by standard letter or litigation. Tim is efficient and methodical on his approach and easy to liaise
P LLoyd - Director, Alsto-Heat Ltd
with.I would recommend Tim & Hopson Solicitors for any debt recovery requirements.
Tim Wheeler from Hopsons Solicitors recently supported us with mediation for a business related manner. We found Tim to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. His calm, relaxed and professional manner made this challenging event much easier to deal with. We achieved a successful result with Tim’s guidance and would like to thank him and the wider Hopsons team for their assistance
