Testimonials
Sourced from Legal 500, 2022
"The team are very keen to make things work for me by, for example, arranging their bills to coincide with my budgets and forecasting. As I have been working with the same individuals for several years now, they understand my organisation and make advisory suggestions based on their knowledge of how we operate. There has been no detriment in service at all during lockdown."
"The team at Markel have been a stable and constant support to our business for many years. The reason we have not sought alternative legal support is because we have people outside of the business who know our company inside and out, which really helps. I feel like I’m talking to someone who knows me and the company, which I feel is invaluable."
"The team at Markel managed to blend the handling of a very difficult and complex legal matter with the human and caring touch."
"The team at Markel Law were unlike any experience I have had with a legal practice before. Quite simply they took the time to not only understand my case with great sensitivity, but also to realise the psychological impact the case had on me and responded accordingly. Their support enabled me to keep to focus on what mattered – with an empathy that must be commended. They explained everything in a way that was easily understandable and removed what could have been a very intimidating set of processes. It is hard to imagine a better service from a legal practice."
