Friendly and genuinely seem to care about the people in our business and the transaction.

Legal 500 UK 2025

The team at Tees is exceptional when it comes to corporate and commercial. They went above and beyond while trying to get the deal done. Their tenacity and understanding of our business were excellent, as well as their understanding of a commercial deal that was not always straightforward.

Excitech

'Excitech have been advised by Lucy and her team for almost 20 years. We’ve confidently navigated a multitude of complex events and transactions in our corporate life with their support, including acquisitions, property sales/purchases, demergers, employee-related matters and, ultimately, the sale of the business. We have benefitted from their extensive knowledge in both tax and legal matters, with their expertise shared in a balanced and pragmatic manner. This approach has proven invaluable when negotiating with third parties, enabling deals to be closed and the interests of the company and shareholders protected. Their dedication and commitment to helping the board and shareholders achieve their goals is second to none'
