    • Capital Law’s expertise was invaluable in negotiating leases for more than 20 properties and facilitating our move to the new Veezu headquarters at Hodge House, Cardiff. Their professional and thorough approach ensured seamless property assignments, significantly benefiting our operations.

    • He has the rare gift of being both an excellent lawyer and a sound and innovative entrepreneur. He also has a genuine commitment to protection of the environment, sustainable business and the synergy between the two.

    • I have always been thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and dedication exhibited by Capital Law. However what I am more grateful for is the relationship built up with the members of the Banking and Property teams in particular. The commitment to understanding our needs and providing tailored advice has been invaluable. It can be rare to find a firm that provides such a high level of expertise with a truly client centred approach.

      I look forward to continuing my relationship with Capital Law in the near and long term future.
