Don't take our word for it

Ability to explain legal terms and principles in easy to understand layman’s language.
Legal 500 2024
The team at Machins were a pleasure to work with and at all times were professional and efficient.
Legal 500 2024
Easy to talk to, flexible in approach. Have taken the time to get to know our business and therefore our risks and opportunities, I believe this helps us drive better results over and above ‘the norm’.
Legal 500 2024
Great to work alongside as they keep things simple for non legally trained people (like me), however at the same time they complete the task(s) robustly. I also believe they take the time to understand the client and this enables a strong relationship and also stronger commercial outcomes.
Legal 500 2024
The firm has a strong team covering all of the main areas of the law. As well as professional and technical expertise, the team members I have dealt with are all friendly, helpful and approachable. They work well together and have a good knowledge of what colleagues can do to help.’
Legal 500 2023
Unlike larger firms more advice is directly given by partners and senior staff rather than being delegated to more junior members of the team.
Legal 500 2023
The key strength is partner involvement being a partner led service and an ability to communicate legal concepts in simple English
Legal 500 2023
Machins is truly consistent in offering the highest level legal work, with a combination of humanity, discretion and professionalism I have not encountered anywhere else.
Machins Solicitors have a raft of expertise to call upon when dealing with either corporate matters or personal affairs. They communicate efficiently and are so personable, explaining complex issues in layman’s terms, providing the confidence you need to make the right decisions. I would highly recommend Machins.
We were recommended to Machins by our accountants. We used their services for the sale of our business. They acted very professionally with great attention to detail. Mark Pelopida dealt with us almost exclusively, keeping us informed of progress and providing excellent advice. All went very smoothly with the right advice.
Machins are very responsive, approachable solicitors and provide clear concise responses to our queries. They always provide what we need in good time and are a pleasure to work with.
Legal 500 2022
The team as a whole are always on hand to help with all legal needs, treating every issue with the care and attention you would hope a member of your own team would do so. Taking the time to respond out of hours as well, if putting your mind at ease helps the cause.
Legal 500 2022
A strong team across the board and in depth. Technically strong with very fast response times. They are friendly, approachable and provide good practical advice. The level of service provided did not drop during Covid-19 lockdown.

Setting up or growing a business? Choose the right structure

When starting or growing a business, it’s important to consider what legal structure will give you the best chance of success. There are several options to explore, including sole proprietorship, partnership, and limited company.

Shareholder Agreements – why are they so important?

By Company Commercial

Often when a team of people decide to do business together they do so with people known to them whether it be family members, colleagues or friends.
