I’d like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Greg Williams and the entire team at Hugh James for their help with the sale of our dental practice. They advised and represented us during a long and protracted negotiation ensuring a very successful result. Their professionalism was only matched by their approachability and good humour.

“I was a little apprehensive about using a solicitor company I was not familiar with, however, they came highly recommended for having extensive knowledge and experience in the Pharmacy sale market. This turned out to be very true my journey from start to finish with Greg and his associate James was an absolute pleasure. I was extremely surprised how much work was involved, Greg’s communication to myself and other parties was excellent keeping me informed of all the processes and legal issues being addressed along the way. Greg’s manner and commitment was a major influence on bringing the sale to a satisfactory conclusion.

I highly recommend the Hugh James legal team to anybody selling a Pharmacy.”
