DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Didn't follow directions, created more problems than they solved and then blamed me. When i complained to the owner he denied that conversations had occurred. They knew full well i would dispute their bill so they issued a surreptitious winding up notice. Absolutely awful. There are much better solicitors out there

We initially approached Else to write up and negotiate terms on a new lease for a new business venture in 2017. I was very upfront and on two separate occasions in writing did I state I wanted to make it clear I 'did not' want to commit to their full fees until the construction project was agreed on at the premises. For the main reason that the proposal of occupying that premises rested on the fact we could afford the costs involved in renovating the premises.
After many months and three contractors later we came to the conclusion the premises simply required too much work for the budget we had

Else Solicitors represented us via adjudication against a medium to large construction company. The adjudication was my 4th and was relatively simple compared to the others which were more complicated and drawn out. Basically, the fee quoted by Else Solicitors at the beginning was exceeded without any acknowledgement or reason. The process of compiling the referral which is of great importance to the successful outcome was given to one of their trainees who had to surrender it over to one of the directors for final approval at an even higher rate to us). I definitely felt I was l leading the way

I am a fairly new attendee of the Else Professional Network Lunches and have found them to be invaluable in making connections with the right kind of people to develop my new business. The atmosphere is relaxed, there is no pitching for business and the manner in which they are hosted provides the ideal environment to meet like minded people. I would highly recommend anyone that is considering attending to do so, without hesitation.

I attended the recent Else monthly networking event in Birmingham - and it was excellent - as always! I usually make great contacts there, and last time was no exception with a couple of useful follow-up meetings. I'm booked in for the next one!

The networking event run by Else Solicitors is undoubtedly one of the best if not the best in the region. Not only is the venue and food outstanding but the businesses represented are all highly respected. As a direct result of this event Else have become one of our valued clients. Oliver Buckle does an outstanding job organising and hosting the event!

Many thanks for another great event yesterday. I came away having spoken to five people who are looking for marketing help and want to talk to me further (including someone I trained about 6 years ago).
This was by far the most successful networking event I've ever been to. I don't know how you do it but you attract the right people.

ELSE Solicitors Networking event every third Wednesday of the month in Birmingham is an event to look forward for. Always taking place at well chosen venue with good quality menu. Events are always well attended with a long list of delegates, which is available before the event already. This gives an opportunity to co-ordinate networking and make is as efficient as possible. Of course, not always you get to speak to the person you most want to, but at least the list gives contact details to at least get in touch with that person afterwards. Well done, Oliver and team!
