Testimonials
We mainly worked with Dan Bradley. I found him very supportive, taking me through a process I had no experience with. He was recommended to us by the broker who sold our business, and that recommendation proved very beneficial. Dan talked me through each stage of the process in simple terms I could understand. He was encouraging and helpful with the due diligence work I had to complete without making me feel under too much pressure or making it feel like such a burden.

I dealt solely with Dan Bradley, Associate Solicitor. His subject knowledge (I was selling a business) appeared to be very sound, but what impressed me most was his proactive style. He chased up the seller's solicitor and kept things moving, as well as being pragmatic.
Legal 500 2027
Dan Bradley is highly diligent, professional, and competent. He exudes self-confidence way beyond his chronological years, to ensure a level playing field with older professionals on the other side of the negotiating table.

The Run up to Qualification
