Testimonials

  • I have worked with Capital Law’s debt and real estate finance teams for a number of years, and we have an excellent working relationship. The team are friendly yet professional and extremely responsive which helps me to manage my client’s expectations. They give clear, relevant, and thorough advice and their support has been invaluable. I know I can trust the team and can pick the phone up at any time.

  • We’ve worked with the Capital team across their business over the years and have always found the service standards to be excellent.

    Recently, we’ve been working with the development team who have provided strategic advice, connected to our entire portfolio with consideration to forward funding models for our new build development at Hanningfiled Park in Cheltenham – the advice received was invaluable and resulted in a shift in our business strategy.

    The added value you get from this team is driven from their ability to horizon scan in the right places and being bold in their approach to working with clients. We look forward to continue our growth plans with Capital as out trusteed partner.

  • To the awesome Capital team, you have been phenomenal in your representation of us in the face of mind boggling idiocy. We are extremely grateful for your diligence, professionalism and good humour throughout this process. We look forward to the next one and couldn’t conceive of finding a better business partner to work with us over the next few years.

  • Investing in the Welsh market marks the next step of our ambitious growth strategy. Hannah and the Capital Law team were very responsive and always at the end of the phone, keeping us regularly updated. Their quick turnaround and ability to work to tight deadlines ensured the deal completed before Christmas.

  • AJM have worked with the Capital team for several years.When we first engaged with Capital, we were gearing up for growth which meant selecting multiple sites across England for servicing commercial contracts with the NHS.

    The lead in time to mobilise in new locations is often extremely tight – since working with Capital, the number of sites we now occupy under varying lease arrangements has risen to 32.

    The Capital team have worked hard to support our growth plan, by gaining a deep understanding of our business, helping us plan ahead and to ultimately deliver on timescales that often seem impossible.

    It has been a bit of a rollercoaster at times, but we’ve had a lot of fun along the way!
