Shareholder and Partnership

“ I approached Robin for help with a long running business dispute involving a share buy out.  Previous attempts to negotiate with my business partner had gone nowhere and I was at a loss with regards my next steps. Robin was extremely knowledgeable and suggested mediation. Although no deal was initially struck during mediation he assured me that sometimes this can be the case and given more persuasion the other party may reconsider. Robin was persistent and a short while later proven right. A deal was made and the matter was resolved.

Robin was always available via email, WhatsApp and phone.

Robin went above and beyond and I could not have proceeded without his help and guidance.”

“I honestly cannot thank you enough for helping me through the most difficult time in my life. I spent two years worrying about my matter, to the point where I was ready for giving up and walking away. You gave me the confidence and strength to tackle the issue and I feel I have come out best possible outcome. Although a legal professional myself, I could not have done it without you. Your expert legal advice is second to none and your client care is beyond compare. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally move on with my life. I will be forever grateful for your help.”

“All done and dusted at last and a very satisfactory outcome. Thank you very much indeed for all your help and advice, tempered with a healthy dose of realism, which enabled me to reach a deal and put an end to the stress of the last 10 months.

I hope I don’t have to call on you again but will not hesitate to do so if necessary.

Thank you again.”

“Robin’s work is exceptional. He has a keen eye for detail and a passion for bringing matters to a rapid close. I will never use another lawyer again. Robin’s knowledge both in terms of points of law and his ability to quote case law is remarkable. Truly one of a kind. He is a wonderful example of calm preparedness during what was a bitter business dispute for us. I so appreciated his calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude. Honest, trustworthy and very straight forward, Robin will tell you exactly where you stand. He never loses sight of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. Underpinning all of this is his strong business nous and an appreciation of the real-life commercial context.”

“Robin had a much appreciated calm, measured yet proactive approach to the issues I wanted advice on. He replied promptly to my initial enquiry, quickly grasped the relevant details and his explanations and advice were very clear. I felt listened to and unhurried as he explained some legal jargon along the way, and had confidence in his advice about the way forward. I would without hesitation seek his professional help again and do highly recommend him.”

“Having dealt with Robin regarding a legal dispute I have been very impressed with how quickly the work was completed and how well explained everything was. Normally it is quite difficult to understand the processes and obligations relating to legal disputes, Robin took the time to make me aware of all the implications of the process in a way that I had no difficulty understanding.”

“It’s with great satisfaction to inform you that I have known received all the remaining payment from [opposing party]’s solicitor, I will like to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you have done for me as your client, I’m very humbled by your courage and knowledge that you have put in to this case, I and also my family we thank you very much for your effort and determination to resolve this case.I’m looking forward to work with you very soon with my new company.”

“I contacted Robin for some advice and help with a messy business partnership. He was amazing and above all kind and understanding of the situation. Robin dealt with my issues quickly and professionally and went above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend him enough, his knowledge around business law was outstanding.”

“Robin has advised us in a number of areas over the past year or so. He is friendly and knowledgeable and avoids getting into legal jargon to focus on the commercial situation. His service is very fast and efficient and he has been able to turn round advice at short notice.”

“I contacted Robin Somerville as a Direct Access Barrister after a dispute with fellow directors/shareholders became a stalemate and was going nowhere,and having spent thousands on expensive solicitor fees and 18 months of lost valuable time.
I found Robin to have a very calm approach, and on a very even level. He was contactable almost 24-7 not like my previous solicitor 9 to 5. I found him very methodical finding solutions for the tricky problems I faced. His advice was exceptional and second to none. A really true professional in his field.
Robin I thank you for all the hard work you did for me,helping me to achieve a outcome I can live with and move on with my life…”

“I came across Robin from an online search rather than a recommendation, which is rare approach for me especially for legal matters, however his experience and background felt very relevant. Our case was relatively very small but we needed someone with clout and knowhow to make sure that we get the right legal advice without eating up the potential gains with legal fees. Robin was brilliant in giving us clear expectations and guidance and I know he went above and beyond what would normally be expected as a way of staying true to his promise to get us a good settlement we can all walk away from happy. His dedicated and reassuring one on one approach is highly recommended. With legal matters, you always hope you do not need to use again, but if the need arrises I would contact him without a second thought.”

“Shareholders Agreement – Robin is a true professional and understood the brief immediately. He provided pertinent advice on the contract that I needed and was very patient. He kept me updated at every stage and delivered extremely quickly. Highly skilled, insightful and thorough, I would not hesitate to work with him again. Truly, he provided excellent value and service.”

“I am heading towards a dispute for sure. Where do you go? Who do you ask? Robin Somerville put me in the picture and gave me options. I am now prepared and pleased that I have Robin with me.”
