Manleys Solicitors Description
We are in the results business
People want lawyers who inspire confidence, give honest sound advice, value for money - and get the right results.
That might be through skillful negotiation to avoid court action, or fighting and winning a case if that is what is needed.
We use years of expertise, experience, and commercial pragmatism to
protect the rights, reputations, brand, products, privacy and confidentiality of our clients.
On occasions this requires an urgent injunction, negotiation, mediation, litigation or deal-making. Whichever it is - we help our clients to get results.
We represent successful businesses and individuals. They have kindly shared their views about us on our website. Their views corroborate our claim to be “in the results business”. Manleys lawyers feature as UK leaders in their fields of law in Chambers and Partners Directory and Legal 500.
The team at Manleys have gained a wealth of experience at some of the UK’s leading law firms and came together this year to create a niche legal practice dedicated to giving first class service, building rapport with clients and focusing on achieving results.
