I have found Duncan Cathie to be a very diligent and hardworking lawyer, who will go to great lengths to deliver for clients. Duncan always impresses with his technical knowledge and expertise, and has a strong understanding of the financial aspects of a corporate transaction.

I would like to give special praise to Duncan Cathie specifically for his expertise, dedication and communication skills throughout the entire sale process. Without Duncan, I don't believe we would have ever have become comfortable enough to push the deal through considering the complexity of dealing with non-UK entities and share purchase agreements.

Duncan strengthened and protected us in our document, showing us where we should push; his knowledge base on franchising is unreal.
