Brent Williams is a highly experienced and pragmatic real estate lawyer.
The Legal 500
We had worked with Aaron & Partners successfully in the past so when we needed legal assistance with re financing the business we looked to them again for help. Whilst, other law firms had been recommended to us, we decided to build on the trusted relationship we had already established. Brent Williams, from the real estate department assisted us with all the property matters before introducing us to Zoe Lloyd who dealt with all the commercial aspects of our re-finance of the business. Zoe conducted a “red flag review” of all our financial documents, working efficiently, cutting through legal jargon, responding timely to our queries and working to a very tight deadline. I was impressed with her attention to detail and speed of work. Both Brent and Zoe were great to work with. Nothing was compromised despite the tight deadlines and the abundance of work to complete. I was kept up to date at all times and the whole process went smoothly. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and ultimately the outcome achieved.
