How one businessman’s decision to use Stephensons was a success
After founding and running AC Computer Services Ltd for sixteen years, Neil Chorley was approached by a potential buyer of his business, and negotiations ensued. "It was clear that I needed assistance with the legal aspects, but my previous experience of the legal profession was of solicitors who never take calls, and who respond only by means of written letters, which take weeks to produce. I needed somebody who could react quickly, helping me cut through the masses of legal jargon, and assist me in making what would probably be one of the most momentous decisions of my life."
Why Stephensons?
"In my years in business, I'd heard favorable comments about Stephensons, and as they clearly had a good reputation I decided to give them a call. My call was returned within the hour, and even in that very first informal conversation I was offered some valuable legal advice. I decided then to employ their services, and with hindsight I can see that it was definitely the right move to make."
Working towards a solution
"I always felt Stephensons knew what I wanted to achieve, and felt that I could trust them to get the best deal that they could for me." Neil was also encouraged by the ease of communicating with his Legal Adviser on any aspect of the sale of his business, or indeed other related matters. "It was heartening to have a legal ally whom I could contact at any time. I was also pleased to see that Stephensons also embraced modern communications media, and it was clear that their dedicated staff were spending time at home in answering my various e-mails. This was something that I myself might do for a valued client, so it was refreshing to see a legal company adopt the same attitude to customer service.”
“I would definitely recommend Stephensons to anybody requiring legal advice. I found their modern attitudes to service a refreshing change from my previous experience of the legal profession, and know that even now, some 12 months on, any queries will be dealt with promptly by a suitable specialist."
