“Lisa Mark-Bell was very professional and knowledgeable in advising me on my will, which had several international aspects. She was also very personable and listened to my questions and responded to them in a way I could, as a lay person, understand. The will was done and dusted within a week and I would highly recommend her.”

“Friendly and professional.”
“Very satisfied with whole services.”
“Lisa Mark-Bell’s technical strengths are a given, particularly when considering the tax planning which goes alongside her legal advice. While she is able to deal with complex situations, I have also found Lisa to be very pragmatic and sensible in her approach to client advice, seeking efficiencies but not over-complicating matters. She has turned work around at very short notice for mutual clients and has never failed to deliver on demanding client requirements.”
