Testimonials

Rona Wheeldon, past owner of the Organised PA and owner of Flowerona:

“What would I have done without Suzanne?’ is a question I’ve asked myself many a time when she’s been helping me to sell my business. And the answer is ‘I really don’t know!’  Prior to speaking to Suzanne, I didn’t have a clue where to start.  From our initial telephone conversation I felt so reassured to be in the hands of such a consummate professional. Nothing is too much trouble and she explains everything in non-jargon terms.  She’s very approachable and has a wonderful air of calmness about her. It’s not every day that you sell your business and if you want to have confidence that you’re following the correct legal process, I would highly recommend working with Suzanne. I really couldn’t have contemplated doing it without her!”

Sarah Whale, award winning Little Kickers franchisee:

“From the moment we were put into contact I felt Suzanne was always there to offer support, guidance and a friendly ear in what turned out to be a lengthy and stressful process of selling my franchise business. Suzanne was the ultimate professional, without being a ‘stuffed shirt’ and had an excellent grasp of all the legal aspects of the sale.  I really felt I was in safe hands. Suzanne was able to work flexibly which really helped my personal circumstances. I feel she is a credit to her profession and the service Suzanne offers is unsurpassed.”

Keith Evans, MD of Grosvenor Clive & Stokes

“Suzanne was easy and pleasant to deal with – her style was pragmatic and down to earth but she was able to stand her ground when necessary. She was organised, responsive and positive, steering both us and the other parties through to the successful completion of the transaction in a very tight timescale. We would certainly work with her again.’

Suzanne Borrell, marketing director of What’s on 4 Limited:

“I have had the pleasure of working with Suzanne on a range of smaller and some very major projects. I have always been consistently impressed by her ‘can-do’ attitude. She has a calm, reassuring manner, is highly approachable and a consummate professional.  Suzanne’s advice is always is jargon-free and straightforward and she is always more than happy to take time to address client’s questions or concerns which she does in an open, understandable and very patient manner. She is fully prepared to make herself available outside of regular hours to meet her client’s needs, her focus and commitment remain the same no matter on the size of the instruction and working with Suzanne assures you swiftly that you that you are in a very safe pair of hands! Nothing is too much trouble. We are looking forward very much to working with Suzanne on the global expansion of our business.”

Gwyn Roberts, ex Virgin and business development director at Cube Interactive Limited:

“It was a pleasure to work with Suzanne, who combines her undoubted legal expertise with a strong commercial approach.  She is responsive to client deadlines and willing to go the extra mile, for example, being available to make final amendments to drafts late at night or over the weekend.  She also makes small business clients feel as important as her more established clients.  I would recommend her to anyone who is starting to question the value for money and service offered by the big legal firms.”

Karen Skidmore, www.WebTechClub.com, Marketing Club for Technophobic Business Owners

“Thank you Suzanne for sorting out my affiliate terms of service for my Web Tech Club. I was going to merrily use the ones provided in my shopping cart system but, as you pointed out, I needed to have specific ones to reflect my business model and products so I can protect myself, as well as my affiliates.  The standard one provided was very American and didn’t reflect my UK business.  And although I’m pretty sure nothing will go wrong, I feel much happier knowing that everything is set up legally in the right way .. just in case!”

Wendy Powell, founder of the Mutu System:

“Suzanne was recommended to me via contacts on Twitter and I couldn’t be more happy with the service I received. I needed a bespoke licensing contract drawn up for my business and Suzanne quickly understood exactly what I needed. As a fellow ‘mumpreneur’ I was also delighted to be able to speak to or contact her in the evenings or at weekends as this is clearly when many of us work! Suzanne is utterly professional, efficient & competent. When clauses needed redrafting for any reason, this was done within budget & without any hassle at all. I will certainly come straight to Suzanne for any legal work in the future & would not hesitate to recommend her services.”

Catherine Naylor, Communications Director at Just Go Direct:

“Suzanne provided the perfect solution for my start up Just Go Direct. Suzanne has a strong pedigree/background in corporate / commercial law. Her expertise was clear from day one; a true professional. Straight talking and quick to respond to queries.  As a working mother myself I find Suzanne accessible at the strange hours you find yourself working. I think the synergy given the responsibilities with parenting makes a for a great relationship too. Equally important are the fees; you’d struggle to find a lawyer like Suzanne with a similar fee structure. Highly recommended. ”

Sue Carey, founder of The Lemon Club:

“Suzanne has helped make launching The Lemon Club straight forward and jargon-free.  She provided easy-to-read licensing and affiliate agreements, membership terms and website Ts & Cs.  We wouldn’t go anywhere else if we needed legal advice in the future.  She’s also exceptionally dedicated, sending one critical agreement at 10pm on Christmas Eve!  And her prices are excellent.  Thank you, Suzanne!”

Sharon Gaskin, founder of the Trainers Training Company Limited:

“I got to know Suzanne via Twitter and she had also been highly recommended to me by people in my network. When a legal issue came up within my business I had no hesitation in immediately asking Suzanne for help. As a small business owner I found her service second to none. She is super efficient, knowledgeable and prepared to go the extra mile for you. What also makes her brilliant to deal with is that she is straightforward, down to earth and just a lovely lady! All in all – an invaluable service.”

Lesley Singleton, founder of LS Media Limited:

“I’m delighted with the work Suzanne has carried out for LS Media Ltd. I feel really fortunate to have found a professional, experienced and capable lawyer who offers a jargon-free and transparently-priced service. She tailor-made a number of documents for me, is meticulous in her detail and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other businesses. I instantly felt I could trust her to help me make the right decisions in terms of what was covered by the documents and I appreciated her approachable and friendly nature too, which made it much easier to ask those ‘silly’ questions.”

Sian Williams, founder of Baby Friendly Boltholes:

“Suzanne has been a godsend to www.babyfriendlyboltholes.co.uk helping us draw up listing agreements, website terms of use, privacy policy and e-commerce terms and conditions. She offered great advice and turned my ramblings into clear, concise and water tight legal documents all with efficient, friendly, expert and affordable service. Best of all, she’s understanding when multi-tasking means briefings take place with Dora the Explorer background music! I plan to use her services again soon and would recommend her highly.”

Sam Willoughby, founder of What’s on 4 Limited:

“I’m so lucky to have found Suzanne.  Her involvement in our franchising has made all the difference to us making it happen.  Suzanne took the time to understand the business and asked lots of questions to ensure we had considered every business and legal aspect of franchising.  She really understood the pressures of a small business and particularly the juggle of being a parent of a small business.  She delivered as promised, responded very quickly to emails, didn’t confuse us with legal jargon and was very fair and clear with the costs.  After 4 years and 3 other solicitors I have finally found one I can recommend and that I will use again.”

Payal Patel, founder of Enfusion Events Limited:

“Suzanne has been prompt, efficient, patient and always available when I have needed to speak to her and her jargon-free manner meant I was able to understand all the legalities behind the documentation that was drafted for me.  I would most definitely recommend Suzanne to my colleagues and I will be for sure taking up on more of Suzanne’s services in the  future.”

Elaine Clark, founder of CheapAccounting.co.uk:

“It was so easy working with Suzanne. She explains things without legal jargon, is approachable, swift, professional and dedicated. I would recommend her to others.”

Alison Rothwell, founder of SEO Training Club and Tribal Mash:

“Suzanne provided me with excellent legal advice for my company, Tribal Mash, jargon-free and easy to understand!”

Hayley Chalmers, founder of Short Couture Limited:

“I needed a contract to be drafted quickly as I had designers waiting to start work. Suzanne was very understanding of my situation and reacted quickly and professionally. She was quick to understand my specific requirements and I had my comprehensive contract finalised within a couple of days. I can honestly say that it was a pleasure dealing with a lawyer! “

Amy Taylor, founder of Amy Taylor Accountancy:

“Suzanne came along just when I really needed practical friendly legal advice.  The consultancy agreement that she drafted for me was exceptional and covered all the angles, including areas I hadn’t even thought about.  I now feel much more secure in my relationship with my consultant, safe in the knowledge that there is a proper contract in place defining expectations, and safeguarding the future.  Suzanne turned around my request promptly and provided flexibility and acute legal knowledge.  I would highly recommend her services.”

Mum’s the Boss:

“Suzanne was a great person to work with. She was able to interpret our requirements, without the need for us to understand complicated legal jargon. She delivered documents quickly and efficiently and revisions were made overnight when we had a deadline. Suzanne has offered us support and guidance over and above what we anticipated and she provides a service which is friendly and affordable.”

Nicola Bird, founder of JigsawBox:

“Suzanne is extremely approachable, speaks plain English and gives me a very reasonably priced quote and sticks to it. I never had to chase her for information, in fact she is one of the most proactive, dynamic and warm professionals I have worked with. I would, and do recommend her work to other mumpreneurs whole heartedly.”

Heather Townsend, founder of the Efficiency Coach:

“Suzanne did a great job in drafting a licensing agreement and confidentiality agreement for our young business. She was well-informed, but challenging, which enabled us to get the right agreement drafted, not what we initially thought we needed. The peace of mind and protection that Lawyers4mumpreneurs has given us is priceless – however, we were very surprised to find out how affordable Lawyers4mumpreneurs is.”

Natalie Lue, founder of Bambino Goodies:

“Working with Suzanne was an absolute pleasure. Dedicated and extremely knowledgeable, she was able to lend her expertise and make clear all legal aspects in plain English when we were organising a charity auction in a very short time frame. Her advice and services are invaluable, especially for time poor mums in business and I highly recommend her, and will definitely be working with her again.”

Alli Price, founder of Motivating Mum:

“I’m so glad I found Suzanne. Not only has she helped me understand complex issues, but she has always been available when I have had a pressing question (often, as a mum, late at night!) and has been amazing at getting contracts and other work back to me in a timely manner. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone that wants an amazing, and personable, lawyer!”

Alison Rothwell, founder of Arabella Miller:

“Suzanne was a great help to me when I needed professional expertise to tailor make some terms and conditions for my business. Her professional judgement accurately predicted business issues I hadn’t considered previously and as a result I feel really confident that my business terms are now watertight. I’d recommend Suzanne’s expert work to anyone.”

Birgitte Lydum, founder of Baby Beamers Limited:

“Suzanne has helped me with all the legal content for my website (www.babybeamers.com) as well as my manufacturer contracts, and she has consistently gone above and beyond what I as a new business expected from a lawyer. She is professional in her manner, yet very approachable. She knows her stuff, is very proactive, quick to respond over email and phone, and knows how to explain what’s going on in layman’s terms.”

Niamh Barker, founder of  The Travelwrap Company:

“As a small and reasonably successful business I feel one of our greatest strengths is being aware of ROI and added value. I consider within my business the greatest asset is the people that I hire and that work alongside me, Suzanne is one of those people.  I met Suzanne at a ‘women in work conference last year and was immediately impressed with her approachability and professionalism. We have now worked together on various projects and I have been very impressed with her efficient, cost effective and yet fastidious approach to legal issues within a small business, she is terrific and I am delighted to provide a testimonial for her and her work.”

Suzanne Borrell, founder of SMB Events Limited:

“I was very impressed with the service provided by Lawyers4mumpreneurs. Suzanne is very approachable, had a swift understanding of our requirements, was very thorough and turned the job around very fast. The fee was also very competitive. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and would certainly use them again.”

Managing Director of Giv’Organic:

“It was a pleasure to work with Suzanne - she quickly understood the concept of the company and drafted an agency agreement which exceeded my expectations. She has been very proactive and available and met the deadline I gave her even though it was very tight. She really did provide excellent work and I do not hesitate to recommend her!”

Toby Winn, MD of Amber Pumpkin:

“Suzanne took the time to understand our business and market we serve to tailor the terms and conditions to our needs. They are comprehensive and thorough which is reassuring for us now to  have in place. Having an upfront fixed fee agreed in advance worked well for us – no nasty shocks of surprises. I would highly recommend Suzanne.”
