When MetOcean first started investigating this acquisition, we knew that we would need the assistance of a solid legal team in the United Kingdom. Unequivocally, I can say that the team at Cripps provided extremely high-quality service throughout this transaction. Their legal team took the time to understand the scope of services required and were able to identify the appropriate areas upon which to provide focus and counsel.

Jonathan Zinck

Vice President, Finance and Administration of MetOcean Telematics

We are extremely grateful to John and the team at Cripps for their guidance, patience and support. We were particularly appreciative of their rapid responses at every stage of the process. We had some tight deadlines to meet and ‘our side’ was up to the challenge throughout. We literally couldn’t have done it without them.

Peter Cox

Managing Director

We have been delighted with service and advice provided by John, Ed and the rest of the Cripps team throughout the sale process. This was a very complex transaction which involved a significant pre-sale restructuring and a substantial property element retained by my shareholders.

Simon Clubb

Managing Director at J. Clubb Limited

Having not been through the process of selling a business before, it was reassuring to be guided by lawyers with plenty of experience and knowledge. The Cripps team was always available to help us and dealt efficiently and expertly with any issues that arose. They guided us through a complex process and we are extremely grateful to John and the team for their hard work and support.
