How Stephen Rimmer LLP helped a long-term client with various legal issues

Posted onSeptember 4, 2024

The challenge
Our client is a medium-sized company who have been working with Stephen Rimmer LLP for the last 20 years, and they have faced various legal challenges during that time. Some of the issues they needed help with included:
• Contract disputes with suppliers and contractors
• Employment law matters such as redundancies, grievances, and disciplinary actions
• Health and safety regulations and compliance
• Property transactions and leases
• Corporate governance and director duties
They needed a reliable and experienced legal partner who could provide them with timely and practical advice, and who could handle complex and sensitive cases with professionalism and care.

The solution
Zara Coton a Partner in the Stephen Rimmer LLP Corporate & Commercial Team has been working with them for several years, and she has developed a strong rapport and trust with them. Zara and her team communicate regularly and reply quickly to their queries, giving sound and sensible advice. She understands their business needs and objectives, and she always has their best interests at heart.
Zara also has access to a team of solicitors who specialise in different areas of law, and she can refer to them when necessary for matters outside of her own brief. This way, our client can benefit from the expertise and resources of a full-service law firm, while having a single point of contact who knows them well and can coordinate their legal matters efficiently.

Some of the outcomes that Zara and our team have achieved for our client include:
• Helping with the acquisition of a new commercial property and negotiating the terms of the lease, securing favourable conditions and protecting their interests
• Reviewing and updating their corporate policies and procedures, ensuring that they meet the legal and ethical standards and reflect best practices

The result
Our client is very happy with the service and advice that Zara and our team have provided them over the years. They have given us a glowing review, saying:
"We have worked with Stephen Rimmer LLP for around 20 years and Zara has been my contact there for several years. She always responds quickly gives sound sensible advice and is a pleasure to deal with. Our board relies on her advice and she always seems to have our best interests at heart and a team of solicitors when necessary to refer to for matters outside of her brief. It feels like we are dealing with our own in house legal team"
We are proud to have such a loyal and satisfied client, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them for many more years. We are always ready to assist them with any legal issue they may face, and we are committed to delivering high-quality and cost-effective solutions for their business.

Mr Jerome Soucek provided us an exemplary professional service. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and very approachable.

Thank you for giving such excellent service and for steering us through the legal situation with which we were confronted. Andrew Flagg was professional, yet approachable. Explained the intricacies of the law in clear terms and was endlessly patient with our questions. Thank you Andrew, you have been brilliant!
I would recommend Stephen Rimmer to anyone who required solicitor help. Jack Prosser was such a great help to us as we tried to buy a property. Jack always gave great detail which we could understand and was very quick at replying to any queries we had. In the future, I will certainly be using Stephen Rimmer/Jack Prosser again.
We have just completed on our house sale and purchase with Jack, he has been totally amazing and gone over and above to get our house sale through. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him for future conveyancing needs. Thank you so much.
Jack has been invaluable in making sure our sale/purchase went through, demonstrating endless patience and professionalism. We wouldn’t use anyone else in the future!

Jay is a fantastic Lawyer, he definitely loves what he does and he’s very skilful and awesome.
Thank you so much for saving my life! You treated this case like your baby right from the first day and you supported me all through the way. Those memories of the 2 weeks of trial would stay with me till I die, I kept wondering what would happen to my children if I lost this case, but you kept me strong with your words and your dedication to your job is outstanding. I am forever indebted to you Jay, I owe you so much!
Jay was exceptional throughout. In the most difficult circumstances, I could not have asked for a more experienced, competent or reassuring team on my side.
