I have known Teri for the past 6 years and have instructed her to assist with many private investments I have undertaken in that time. We are currently working on the reorganisation of a circa £5million group incorporating its UK, German and US operations and a possible merger of two groups. Teri is commercially astute, responsive and proactive; she is a trusted and valued advisor."

Moorcrofts takes a considered, commercial problem-solving approach to every matter and really understands the implications of any solution on our mutual clients’ business. In particular, I’ve worked with Teri Hunter over the course of the last 16 years on varied and fairly complex share schemes, as well as general corporate issues. She has an impressive working knowledge of taxation matters relating to all types of share schemes, and her innovative and intellectual approach to drafting share rights and option schemes is excellent. I consider her to be an expert in her field.

Will Pearce acted for the selling shareholders of Hollaroo Limited in the management buyout of Hollaroo, and previously acted for us on other corporate matters. Will takes the time to understand the issues affecting our business and the transaction at hand. He’s very approachable, with good legal knowledge but also has a focused commercial approach and gets to the bottom of what really matters. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”

Peter Ward
previous shareholder of Hollaroo Limited

I have worked with Teri Hunter many times over the course of the last 8 years and often refer our firm’s clients to her. We’ve collaborated on many matters in that time including share schemes, sales and corporate restructuring, and exit strategies.

She is extremely personable, with communication skills that serve to make complex legal issues accessible. Equally, her astute understanding of commercial and financial issues, as well as a good working knowledge of corporate tax issues, enables her to effortlessly explain multifaceted concepts. Overall, Teri is professional and commercial in her approach and works efficiently to short timescales."

Very pleased with the high standard of work and also that I was kept fully informed throughout the various transactions.”

Dale Stringer
Totemic Limited, Director of Compliance

From the moment we first engaged with Moorcrofts, we knew we were in safe hands. Partner Teri Hunter immediately put us at our ease and we quickly came to realise that we were working with someone with extensive experience of the acquisition process. Teri not only protected our interests but also ensured that we achieved the best possible outcome. Having someone of that experience and commitment working on our behalf took away our concerns and instilled us with confidence. Teri is totally professional and also a really nice person to work with."

Adrian and the team at Moorcrofts have provided Phlexglobal with first class support through a period of sustained growth, and went above and beyond to ensure the sale went through well. I can honestly say that Moorcrofts deliver to a standard seldom found outside the City.”

Moorcrofts navigated our SME through the complexities of a new Enterprise Management Incentive scheme very efficiently, from explaining it to the Directors and then the Managers, through the preparation and submission of all the documentation to implementation of the scheme. As Directors, we were felt very confident that we were in good hands and grateful to have the whole process taken care of with minimal demands on our time."

I met Teri and her team at Moorcrofts earlier this year when I sold my company Grand Parade Limited to bookmaker giant William Hill. She came highly recommended and with good reason. For various commercial reasons this deal had to be completed in a 4 week timeframe, and Teri and her team worked around the clock to get the deal done. She was pragmatic and focused, and approached negotiations with tenacity and aplomb. The process was at times stressful and difficult but Teri kept us sane throughout."

Ex Shareholder, Grande Parade Limited

Sirius chose Moorcrofts to advise us on the legal issues surrounding our agreement to run Gradwell’s network operations centre, largely because of Andrew Katz’s open source experience and reputation. Andrew quickly grasped the commercial issues involved in the transaction, and drove the deal to a rapid and satisfying conclusion for both parties. I found Moorcrofts to be responsive and cost-effective, and would not hesitate to instruct them again.”

Mark Taylor
CEO of Sirius Corporation

Moorcrofts, led by Adrian Phillips, has guided us through two UK energy sector acquisitions now. Their breadth of experience is very valuable, particularly when combined with a highly personal approach compared to some of the larger legal firms. We have gained complete confidence in their ability to deliver our objectives, and they have always been able to mobilise quickly to respond to deal requirements."

James Wood
Managing Director Octego

Will Pearce has acted for Third Republic since its incorporation on various corporate matters, including the initial investment/fundraising for the company. He has understood the changing needs of the business and has demonstrated excellent legal knowledge as well as a problem solving approach to find solutions to issues that we have faced. Will has always been very responsive and I look forward to working with him in the future. I would be happy to recommend him to other businesses in our situation."

Richard Vercesi
Director and Founder of Third Republic Limited

Moorcrofts is one of my two ‘dial-first’ firms in the UK for all matters I have to refer outside. Additionally, my acquaintance with Andrew has provided invaluable business opportunities, to the point of collaborating on a joint pitch for EU-related projects. The firm’s specialised and general legal services are first-class, at a commercially acceptable fee structure.”

Carlo Piana
Founder of Array (Italy)

I have worked with legal firms in the UK, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, the USA and Canada. Without any caveats, I am delighted to rank Moorcrofts’ as my first and strongly preferred legal firm for the UK and as the central organising/managing firm when dealing with international affairs.”

ADAMAS has had the pleasure of working with Moorcrofts for many years in a variety of legal areas. We have found everyone with whom we’ve dealt with in the firm to be very approachable, helpful and extremely responsive. We continue to receive advice that is straightforward and easy to understand, enabling us to act in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Moorcrofts for many years to come.”

Gary Dickinson

Working with Adrian and the team at Moorcrofts was a delight. They not only turned things around in a very timely and professional manner, but they were very friendly, helpful and approachable. I will definitely engage Moorcrofts again when we have any other corporate legal matters to deal with.”
