Michael and Stephen are excellent to work with. I’ve worked with a few legal firms before and typically it’s a miserable experience - on this occasion quite the opposite. Fast, responsive, good advice, commercially sensible, flexible to working with other legal advisors etc. I think the key is that they are not a massive corporate so you get a very personal service without all the bureaucracy and hassle that comes with big legal firms. We ended up settling out of court but I’ve no doubt if the case had gone to the High Court these guys would have done a super job. They gave great advice throughout what was a difficult situation. I’d happily act as a reference and recommend them.

I worked with Michael at Southbank legal in the handling of a very stressful matter. Michael was clear and realistic, which was appreciated. In the end he helped resolve my situation and I can't thank him enough. Would very much recommend.

We were looking for a solicitor to help us remove a CCJ (the claim form was sent to a previous address). After looking for solicitors in the local area and online, we found South Bank Legal which provided excellent service from the beginning.

We had the pleasure to work with Michael who answered all our questions immediately. We never had to wait for a response from him. He helped us remove our CCJ and continued to represent us in defending the claim for a deposit from a previous landlord.

South Bank Legal represented us for over a year and I have no words to express my gratitude. We obtained a 5-star service and would definitely recommend them.

Had a pleasure working with Michael and Stephen from the team.
Michael was the one to proactively contact me and spend time discussing the matter, sharing his expert view on what's possible and how complex the case can be.
The detailed work has been done by Stephen with as much professionalism as you'd want to see - very attentive to detail, doing things in the interest of client, being transparent of any additional costs and options, approaching the case with care of the client and their matters. Had a wonderful experience and a very positive outcome. Thankful!

Experience with Michael was outstanding. Michael assisted with a breach of contract issue. From start to finish he was very accessible. Through his years of experience, he provided direct and sound legal advice (for a reasonable fee). Would recommend to anyone looking for legal counsel.

What services do commercial and corporate solicitors provide?

Do you work with small businesses and startups as well as larger companies?

What is the difference between commercial law and corporate law?

Corporate law focuses on how businesses are structured and governed, including company formation, shareholder matters, directors’ duties and major transactions.

Many clients benefit from advice across both areas.
