“From the outset of our transaction involving the sale of our dental practice, we were fortunate to have the support of an exceptional legal team.

Kirsty McKenzie-Hopkins was instrumental in managing the complexities of the due diligence and NHS contract.

Client feedback
“I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Eugene Pena for all his efforts on our behalf and making a difficult journey as pleasurable as possible. Eugene has always been a calm, steady, dedicated and trusted guide to us throughout this transaction, for which we are truly grateful both professionally and personally. Undoubtedly, you've been keenly supported by Kirsty McKenzie-Hopkins and Bee Gebhardt, who have both contributed to the journey and assisted in making the road less bumpy and to whom we extend our thanks also. As a friend of mine says, there's no 'I' in 'teamwork' — and you have most definitely demonstrated this perfectly. It has been a pleasure and I particularly look forward to the post-completion tasks, knowing that I'm in safe hands.”
