Clifton Ingram have represented me over the last two years to help negotiate and process my divorce settlement. For such a personally difficult thing to go through, during this period the Clifton team were extremely professional, supportive and provided me good guidance on my position to satisfactorily conclude proceedings. A special thanks to Kate Grant and Joanne Backwith who very effeciently and with good heart and consideration helped conclude matters that has resulted in a satisfactory outcome for me and my ex wife.

Report
I've worked with the Commercial Property team at Clifton Ingram for 8 years. They have always given top notch professional support and advice and dealt with matters in a straight talking, efficient and friendly manner. Clifton Ingram supported me and the business with some very complex lease agreements which helped us to grow from a tech startup to FTSE 100.
