About Aspect Legal
Values – The Aspect Legal Difference
On first contact, you’ll notice that we’re a little bit different to your usual law firm.
Here’s why, and here’s what our clients’ say about us.
Experience & Quality
We are a boutique specialist firm,
focusing only on the areas that we excel.
Value For Money
We provide the skills and clout of a
top tier law practice without the top
tier price.
Highly Responsive
Services
We’re available whenever you need us –
you can contact us by email, fax, phone,
Skype or old-fashioned face-to-face
meetings.
Communication
We know that there’s nothing worse
than engaging a professional who then
disappears into the ether. We like to
keep you informed of what’s been
done, what we are currently doing,
what you need to be doing, and when
we all need to do things by.
Commercial focus
Our services are highly focused on
resolutions that are commercially
sound. We understand the variety of
potential risks in commercial
transactions, and constantly balance
dealing with those risks against an
understanding of the commercial
imperatives.
Fast Turn
Around Times
We are renowned for the quick turn
around times that we are able to
provide – no matter how big or small
your transaction. We know how
important fast timing can be on
keeping things moving – so we
generally aim to review and advise on
documents within no more than 48
hours or receipt. We are, however,
highly competitive and we’re always
challenging ourselves to beat that
time frame!
Team players
Wherever required we proactively work
closely with your management team,
relevant stakeholders and other
professional advisers, so the full team is
singing from the same hymnbook.
We truly care
As business owners ourselves, we
deeply care about the results for you.
We will do everything possible to get
the best possible outcome.

AMAZING! The team are impressively professional, equally caring and always seek to understand our orientation and concerns.

Joanna and her team were extremely professional in all their dealings with us on the sale of our business. We would strongly recommend Aspect Legal for their promptness, attention to detail and understanding commercial realities is outstanding. We could not have had any better legal advice in all aspects of the process, we were delighted to have been associated with Joanna and her team.
