Thank you very much for the hard work and getting this done under such tight deadlines. Thomson Snell & Passmore nailed it again!

Client

Alisa kept us informed of progress, dealt with our concerns, was not intimidated by other party, agreed deed of variation that protects shareholders' interests

Client

I just wanted to say thanks TS&P and particularly to Alisa for all her hard work on helping us acquire our latest restaurant. We know it was a long and frustrating one and probably not made any easier for you by our inexperience! The hardwork has only just begun for us but please do come and see it or eat sometime.

Client

Thank you everyone particularly Alisa for the swiftest and most painless conveyances. I have no doubt of its complexities that you have dealt with so professionally.
