"May I take this opportunity to again thank yourself and Shelagh Legge for your excellent work in fighting my corner against the mighty XXX Group. Throughout, what was an extremely stressful period I felt confident in knowing that I had the backing of your professional team"
Keith, Financial Advisor, Warrington
"Within months of setting up a new business, we got a solicitors' letter threatening us with an injunction unless we stopped trading. Two of us were in the Far East. Within minutes, Mark Lewis had taken control and reassured us that he would sort out the problems. Late on the Friday he got a call from the other side's lawyer saying that he would be applying for an emergency injunction on Monday.
Without hesitation, the team of Mark Lewis, and Vaish Mahajan stepped up a gear. On Friday night they had instructed a barrister, Jeremy Reed, and by Saturday we were having conference calls. By the time it got to Court on Monday we were ready.
The High Court in London rejected the application for an injunction, and by the end of the week the other side had dropped its case as Mark Lewis had predicted.
I have nothing but praise for the calm and efficient way this crisis was handled. From being on the defensive and at risk of losing everything we ended up on the attack and the case was dropped."
Janet Bertram, Director, Freedom Logistics Limited
