Our Happy clients

What our satisfied clients say about us

Burley Law has provided excellent advice regarding some very complex legal arrangements and always at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Affable nature and solid understanding of the sector.

Building a fantastic rapport which means your dealings with him never feel like a standard business transaction.

Des Burley has provided an exceptional service to my start-up business. He made the whole experience smooth and easy, without any complications. He is a very professional, communicative, friendly and attentive solicitor, who I would recommend to everyone looking for some legal support

I think the quality that distinguishes him and his firm from other law firms is that he builds a fantastic rapport which means your dealings with him never feel like a standard business transaction but of a beneficial relationship where you feel he is trying to help solve your problems as opposed to being in a business trying to make money.

From the outset, Des ensured the trademark process was made as clear as could be. More importantly he took the time to really understand our business and draw upon his obvious experience in the sector to highlight any potential pitfalls – ultimately resulting in a very quick and pain free approval of our application.
