Choosing a lawyer is quite an intimate thing. In my case, Tim became our family and business solicitor about 20 years ago. And we’ve stuck with Tim, and he with us, ever since - including when he branched out to set up his own practice. We rely on his knowledge & experience & acumen. But it’s more than that. We trust you, Tim. And I enjoy our dealings. You always treat us with good humour, but at the same time keep focussed and respect the legal business at hand. You’ve often got a suggested option, or another way to financially solve a situation, or to re-structure an agreement in clearer words. I also think a huge factor is your understanding of our family, and the dynamics of our trusts & businesses. I think transparency is important when speaking with advisors. Also knowing that some things are confidential. I see Tim as a vital person in our lives. Also as a friend who thankfully supports us.
Having recently engaged with Trollope and Co for support with an issue, we at all times felt well informed and supported as it was addressed. The advice was practical, timely, and although this was something quite daunting to go through, we were well assured throughout the process. With the wealth of knowledge Heather has from previous roles and especially in dealing with the Education sector, I couldn’t recommend a better person to assist schools with matters that are outside their level of expertise but need an informed and measured response.

Ian and I are chartered accountants and have been with Amy Hutton for a number of years and always value her advice, dedication, initiative and direction. We find her legal work and understanding of our needs to always be thorough and technically complete.
She is very approachable, professional and can explain complicated matters in plain English.
We have referred a number of clients to Amy over the years and they share our opinion that she is very friendly and can easily relate to a wide range of people.
We would not hesitate to recommend Amy as a Commercial and Family lawyer.

So reassuring to have someone of your calibre [Heather] and experience (and sense of humour) on board with us.

Several members of the Trollope and Co. team worked with me over a 2-year period, providing me with the most appropriate legal advice and support to address a complex, extremely stressful and long-standing situation. They acted on my behalf during many meetings, through enough email correspondence to fill a terabyte or two and achieved a beneficial resolution for me. Their professionalism and experience was evident throughout as was their consideration of the situation’s impact on me.
