I have wanted to let you know since the start how very professional and brilliant Donald (Maloney) was in representing my husband. It was me who initially rang around making enquiries with various reputable law firms for representation and it was Donald who stood out amongst all the solicitors I spoke to. Very professional and knowledgeable, attentive and great client relation skills. You have a very good asset there.

The coaching coincided with a turbulent time in the organisation and the tools and skills given to me, by Joan, helped me overcome obstacles and ended with me receiving a promotion and a more senior role in the new structure.

Global beverage company executive

Education strategy executive

The service we received was excellent and we were impressed by your professional and sympathetic approach. It was good to understand the processes involved in what was a complex case. In comparison to the responding solicitors, we were very impressed by the detail of your letters and the care in which you took to represent our concerns. Should the need arise in the future, we would have no hesitation in contacting you. Thank you once again for your guidance and support Richard (Buckley).

You have been outstanding on getting this total nightmare resolved! And I applaud you whole heartedly.

I can't remember the last time I felt compelled to write to anyone with such commendation for a member of staff. The sale of our property has now completed but even had we been without this happy outcome and the sale had fallen through, I would still wish to highly commend Danielle Cook. Danielle's skill and attitude is up there with the very best of them in my many years experience. Danielle's professional competence while under pressure, delivering and managing customer expectations is frankly unusual, first rate and outstanding. I would employ her, yes without question, what an asset.

Mr H

I would like to place on record our gratitude for the way in which your company dealt with our residential property transactions. Especially, we wish to thank Danielle Cook who was our main point of contact. She gave us great confidence and dealt with everything in such a pleasant manner which kept us calm during some difficult moments.

Sarah, thank you for putting my faith back in solicitors! I will certainly be using you for any future needs and recommending you at Luptons without hesitation.

Kelly Mills

Lupton Fawcett’s Family team, in particular Richard Buckley, have consistently provided a service that was not only strong, balanced and responsive but also never lost sight of the deeply personal and emotional nature of my case.

Mr Shaw

It has been a real pleasure working with you in the frame of the asset purchase deal and the sublease we closed in February 2019. Sometimes it was a very stressful dossier, because of all the changes and extra’s the other parties requested. But you took away a lot of worries and handled it so well together with your colleagues at LF! We appreciate your immediate attention each time we have a question, your professionalism, your personal approach and last but not least your kindness and your positive attitude. We enjoy working together with you and your colleagues for our future legal issues.

Tricia Carter has a long association with Sheffield Mencap and Gateway and we're very glad to know her. For many years she has met regularly with groups of parent carers during the day and in evenings to answer questions about ways of leaving money and property through wills and trusts to people with learning disabilities. The families I work with always get a lot from her sessions and she is careful to always give impartial, sensible advice. I have only ever had extremely positive feedback from family carers who've come to the sessions and I've learnt a lot over the years from her too.

Dalia Magrill

Sheffield Mencap and Gateway

Tricia Carter provided me with an exceptional service in a very timely manner, continually demonstrating an exceptional knowledge of legislation, guiding me through the options available to me and my circumstances. I would recommend Tricia and the professional services she offers to everyone.

Tricia is always very pleased to receive a 'thank you letter' from a client at the conclusion of a matter. Amongst these have been "many thanks indeed for the immediate help and support", and "thank you for looking after us at this time in a friendly and compassionate manner."

Simon is listed as a key individual in his field in The Legal 500 UK. In recent editions he has been described as "highly rated by clients."

The Legal 500 UK

I just want to express my thanks, coupled with my admiration, for what you have done for me and for my family. To bring home the bacon after all these years of frustration and enforced despair over my unfortunate financial relationship with an old associate and supposed friend is something of a miracle – my daughter and others have long consoled me by writing off the whole sorry business……..and now you and Natasha have made them all eat their words! I am smiling a lot.

Michelle is the best thing since sliced bread and has the patience of a saint whilst working with the other crackpots in this team!

Head of Lupton Fawcett Sheffield office, Michele Phillips, has been singled out as a 'leading individual' by Legal 500. According to the guide, she 'stands out for finance work and always looks for the unexpected and manages these issues easily'.

Legal 500, November 2018

We have known the Corporate Team at Lupton Fawcett for many years and they have assisted the Crossroads Group on a number of commercial transactions. The most recent acquisition by the Group was, in my experience, one of the most complicated and sensitive deals that I have been involved with. The Corporate Team, led by Michele Phillips, performed in a highly professional and efficient manner and I have no doubt that their assistance was a major contributory factor in us closing our latest acquisition deal.

Crossroads Group Limited

From the outset, Meghan helped put me more at ease, by explaining the process in simple terms which before seemed like a very daunting task. She was calm and professional during my interview, which helped as the policeman had little understanding of how the law works in these situations. Meghan looked through my case and really helped me through the next steps towards court. I received very good advice at court. Meghan's knowledge of the law helped me achieve the result I needed to retain my license and be able to carry on with my busy life. My family, staff and I will be forever grateful.

Pete Gunson

I am delighted that my sister recommended Joss and your firm to me - at the time I did not realise how important it was going to be to have specialists in tax, trusts as well as corporate law and the fact that you had all three specialisms and worked so well together made the whole process far simpler for me…. Having in the past worked in house at a law firm for seven years and worked closely with lots of different law firms since, I know that the way you work is special.

Richard Shanks, Managing Director

Professional Financial Centre Limited

Thanks so much... we really couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!

Pippa Hale, Co-founder

PSL, Charity

Thank you for helping us when we found that our new product was being copied. Your knowledge of the law and astute tactics and strategy using the court process enabled us to stop the copying, recover costs and damages. Top drawer advice and a great result for us. We are very pleased with the outcome.

Stephen Greenhalgh, Managing Director

JJO

I just wanted to thank you for help. The issue was a serious one for us as it may have caused embarrassment and potential liability in our supply chain. Your wise counsel, in-depth knowledge of trademark law, and firm but commercial approach enabled us to resolve this matter both quickly and successfully and avoiding any liability for us and our business partners. Achieving an amicable settlement was a real success and we are delighted with the outcome.

Steve Walton, Finance Director

De Ree UK

I have worked with John for a number of years and can say that he personifies a rare mix of an excellent legal technician and pragmatic, commercially astute businessman. John is a consummate diplomat, having the knowledge and experience to read a situation to perfection, and to use the appropriate force for the circumstances in hand. Many years ago I was on the opposite side to John in a hard-fought contentious matter. It was a very uncomfortable place to be. I can trust John to deliver when called upon. I therefore have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John.

Ann Critchell-Ward

VP Intellectual Property, TomTom

I found John Sykes to be a skilful lawyer, commercially astute, dedicated and hard working, with good judgement, combined with detailed knowledge of - for us - copyright law, he did a good job for us, managed the team well on the case, and I would recommend him without hesitation

Since joining Lupton Fawcett, I have nothing but praise for the way they have dealt with my affairs. Sarah (Sargent) and her team have handled several difficult transfers which they inherited from my previous solicitors (for whom I had lost all confidence in). Going forward, I have numerous property sales in 2017 and a large development of 14 executive houses which will be ongoing for the next 2-3 years. I'm looking forward to the future knowing that my legal requirements are in the hands of a competent team. I have recommended Sarah to several of my friends and business associates

It was great to speak to Ben who clearly understands the Dairy Industry Law so well, he understood our situation right from the beginning which made it easy to explain a complex situation, I would definitely recommend Ben Clay from Lupton Fawcett to assist with farming related matters.
