Tony Rolfe
“Melissa Simpson looked after our business purchase and as it involved a liquor licence, it was essential that our lawyer was experienced in more than contract law.
Melissa was fantastic and guided us confidently through a complex process of licensing and compliance procedures. On two occasions Melissa was not available when we needed a solicitor and Matthew and Gareth stepped in, gave us the advice we needed and all demonstrated what a competent, confident and friendly young team we have at Tranter Lawyers. I am thrilled to be able to commend them to anyone requiring expert legal services.”
