Thank you Emilia

We've worked with Harper James for many years and never needed to look at an alternative legal advisor. I've personally worked with Emily Sadler on a number of cases, and every time the brief is fully understood, executed to the highest quality and completed within a very impressive timeframe. Highly recommended.

Emily dealt with our request with great efficiency and provided us with a ready to go document with great speed. We have worked with Harper James for many years now and find them approachable, efficient and trustworthy. No hesitation to recommend them.

Outstanding Legal Service – Highly Recommend!
I had an incredible experience working with Emilia at Harper James. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and strategic approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Not only did they keep me informed every step of the way, but they also went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Their dedication and knowledge truly set them apart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support.
If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective, I wholeheartedly recommend Emilia Smith at Harper James. A truly outstanding legal professional!

I thoroughly enjoy working with everyone at Harper James. They are meticulous, thorough, and wise advisers to have on your side. Their business model makes legal advice accessible for organisations of our size (we are a growing franchise organisation with around 10 full time staff members and 100 franchises) while offering a breadth of expertise that meets all our business needs. Every team member I've worked with has been highly skilled in their field, and I’m delighted to have them in our corner. Thanks for all your support to date.

In 2024 we instructed Harper James to assist with two commercial property acquisitions. We were introduced to Sam Paxton who has kindly guided us through both transactions. Sam has taken the time to understand the needs of our business and always makes herself available should we have any queries. She is personable and explains legal jargon/concepts in a way that is easy to understand. We very much look forward to working again with Sam in the future and would highly recommend.” – Redteq Analytical Ltd

What stood out about the Harper James firm is the areas of specialisms that are very broad and well suited for individuals and/or companies that are looking to start their journey, and beyond. The onboarding process was smooth and a special commendation for Emily Sadler for her professionalism, guidance and support.

We contacted Harper James for assistance in an M&A project, something that we had no experience of doing. Jenni Ferguson guided us through the process and was very good at explaining things that appeared complicated to us. If another opportunity comes along, we won't hesitate to contact Harper James again.

We've used Harper James for a number of legal matters and they are super flexible, fast to act, and understanding of our situation.
We primarily use support for client contracts, and it has been smooth sailing at a reasonable cost. Emilia in particular has been super helpful.

Very good advice from Lillian on website privacy and cookie policy. Turned around super quick too!

Absolutely fantastic provider for an SME like us. We’re a small team of ~30 people, so we don’t quite have the budget for a full time in-house counsel, but we also have lots of legal things we need help with!
We’ve had a really useful and insightful experience with Julia from the commercial team so far - which is going to make a massive difference to our business.
Thanks Harper James!!
