“Mike and his team have been supporting Stephen George + Partners for just under twenty years now. The reason we have stayed with him is his practice’s ability to convert complex legal processes into pragmatic approaches.

There have been many times we have debated the multiple ways we can approach an issue and have come away with an outcome we are very happy with, and it meets or exceeds the necessary legal requirements. Turnaround time has always been quick, which any business requires when a staff issue or a wider strategic matter arises. The combination of business-orientated solutions and the language of ‘we’ rather than ‘you’, when providing advice, makes it feel like Mike is part of the business and not a separate solicitor!”
