What people are saying
We had purchased a business that, unbeknownst to us, had guaranteed a third party. When this third party subsequently went into liquidation, the financier came after us in a situation where we had very little leverage or information. James as a litigator, communicated extraordinarily well with the financier’s legal counsel and bought us time and significant concessions. Through the whole process he was prompt and all over the detail. Unlike many professional, James’s follow up, to ensure the everything got closed out properly, was fantastic. Finally, his fees for the whole process were very reasonable
I have used James Nolen, together with other members of the K3 team on various matters over a number of years, ranging from relatively straight forward commercial matters to highly complex High Court applications, which essentially involved rewriting legislation to cater to circumstances not provided for in existing law. The solutions provided to the issues at hand, were always sensible and pragmatic, and to date, happily, always successful. I have no hesitation in recommending James and the K3 team, regardless of the degree of complexity involved when you are looking for cost effective and timely advice.
