I have been extremely satisfied with the services of Actons, particularly Robert Northall & Simon Dakin. Having had no experience of selling a business, I was guided through the whole process and was kept updated at all times. A totally professional team who have your interests at heart! I would highly recommend them!Susan
"I would highly recommend the services of Simon Dakin, he is the ideal person to have at your side when needing commercial business advice. His great attention to detail and client focus ensures that you leave with a feeling that nothing has been to much trouble. If you want a professional, personal service from someone who cares about what he is doing, look no further."Andy Hogben, Managing Director – Quadrant Events
Simon Dakin has successfully supported multiple companies that I have led over many years. Simon masters the art of being an exceptional solicitor as he understands that being a human, google on law is not what SME shareholders and directors need. It is the combination of deep knowledge, exceptional skills and well balanced personality that makes Simon stand out and the core reason why companies should speak to Simon Dakin when they need a commercial solicitor.Nathan Nagel, CEO
"I have always received excellent service from Actons, with their attention to detail, commercial outlook and clear communication standing out. The service received has been of a standard that you would expect from a significantly larger firm. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Actons team for corporate and commercial work."The Legal 500 2023: Corporate & Commercial: Nottingham & Derby
"The responses are ‘swift and clear' at Actons’ corporate department. It advised on the MBO of a specialist aluminium bending business, and separately acted on the sale of a national courier business for £1m."The Legal 500
