Richard Clapham

“I have used Downs Solicitors for all of my company's legal affairs for the past 8 years. The service that Richard Clapham and his team have provided has always been first class. Richard is truly my 'Trusted Advisor'.  Our most recent dealings have been the sale of my company.  This is a complex transaction and the Downs team made sure that I was comfortable with all of the details and supported me throughout.  I would not have been able to do it without them! I cannot recommend them highly enough.” Colin Jones, company owner and director

“Our client was selling to a US concern and the purchasers had a combination of US and UK advisers. We worked intensely with Downs during our busiest months (Dec/Jan) to help our client get across the line.  Late evenings, due to US time zones, were not a problem as we met in virtual meeting spaces to work effectively as a cohesive team for our client. Our experience of Downs and Richard Clapham in particular was both refreshing and reassuring. We look forward to working with him again.” Sophie White, Total Tax Group (director) 

“Richard has helped me with the set-up of a couple of family investment companies where the family relationships are often complicated and need to be carefully taken into account within the legal structures. Richard has also assisted with a corporate group reorganisation which again is a complex matter and he has steered a clear path through. He is a good communicator and keeps the client’s needs and concerns in mind throughout the process. I continue to recommend him to my clients.” Delia Orme, Alliotts LLP (partner)

“Richard was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. It is a very daunting prospect selling your business and he guided us through every step of the process and made it all easily comprehendible. He dealt with the other set of solicitors superbly, even though they were rather tricky, and we were very happy with the outcome that was achieved. We would definitely recommend Richard to anyone who is looking to sell their business in the future.” Jason & Linda MacNiven, Golf Principles Ltd
