Tim Ward, Partner, Head of Corporate in Cheltenham

Helen Higginbotham and Tim Ward recently helped to complete a deal in which a Florida-based market research company acquired a company in the UK.

The CEO of the company said: “On behalf the entire team, thank you.

“You’ve all been very professional and thorough throughout this entire process. While it was much more ‘involved’ than expected, the experience has left us feeling more comfortable and confident that it was done right and there is a much smaller chance of future issues because of that.

“Special thanks to Helen and whoever else gave up their Friday night to push this over the finish line!”

Regarding the case, Tim said: “It was fantastic to be a part of this transatlantic deal. Working across time zones is always tricky, but we were able to provide a positive result for our clients across the pond.”

Helen Higginbotham said: “Our corporate, employment and commercial teams worked hard to ensure that the transaction ran smoothly and our client was provided with the support they needed to complete a key deal for them in the UK".

Our Cheltenham corporate team, led by Tim Ward, have been praised for their clear advice, attention to detail and timely action by clients Helen and Jon Yeomans, when the team acted for them on the sale of their online retail business.

They said: “Tim Ward and his team at HCR Law handled the legal work on the sale of our online retail business in February 2021. Tim had been recommended to us by a friend and fellow solicitor, whose recommendation proved to be more than justified. Right from the outset, Tim gave us clear guidance on what would be involved in the legal process for our business sale and his calm and considered approach was very reassuring during what was a busy and stressful time for us.

Tim has an excellent team around him, all of whom were very pleasant to deal with. We worked in particular with Olivia Brooks and Philippa Shepherd … and we appreciated their attention to detail and their patience. All of our questions (even the silliest ones) were handled with respect and care.

Tim and his team stayed on top of the agreed schedule, were flexible when we hit delays from our buyer’s side, and responses to our emails and phone calls were quick and efficient.

We felt that the HCR Law’s fees were very fair for the quality of advice and service we received and we would be happy to recommend Tim Ward and his team.”
