“Magda has guided us through three transactions over the past four years – one MBO, and two significant investments, and we wouldn’t want anyone else. Magda and Paul’s understanding of our needs shone through from the outset. Their advice went way beyond the legal issues and guided us to a successful conclusion from a personal and business perspective. We were always convinced they had our back, acting with our best interests at heart, minimising our costs, maximising our opportunity and always a pleasure to deal with. Thank you guys!”
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rob and Neil at Direct Life on this deal and are grateful to have been able to assist them in their journey from the very outset. We believe this partnership between Direct Life and LSL Property Services is a truly exciting time for their businesses and we look forward to seeing what comes next. This is another significant deal for Joelson which illustrates our passion for helping businesses grow and scale. We look forward to working with Rob, Neil and the team again!”
