Thank you to the Murfett Legal team who together worked tirelessly and beyond my expectations (including weekends) on my recent successful joint venture and merger with a national broker partner. Their understanding of the complex issues and willingness to work in collaboration with all stakeholders resulted in a positive outcome.
It is important to find good, practical partners to work with and you provided a valuable contribution in keeping us on the straight and narrow from a legal perspective. Murfett Legal were incredibly practical and the most engaging legal person that we have found in our decades of doing what we do.
I have worked with Jason and Kelly at Murfett Legal for the last 2 years. During this time they have helped a number of clients who have experienced financial difficulties. I have found their advice, both commercial and timely and would have no hesitation recommending their services.
Jason De Silva and Kelly Parker were a great support to our client. They were proactive in ensuring a positive outcome, and in a timely and efficient manner. They were a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend Murfett Legal for any future dealings.
Thank you for the meeting with [my clients] yesterday, I was very impressed with the way you ran the meeting and educated the clients as you went along. I will certainly refer future clients for estate planning in the future.
We also have another high wealth lobster fishing client who needs a trust deed update, change to a corporate trustee from four individuals and a title update on a commercial property that they hold in the superfund once the corporate trustee is swapped over.
I have been advised that you generously offered your time and knowledge of commercial law at the semi-finalist sponsor session earlier in the year, and understand your presentation was very well received. The Department of Commerce is fortunate to have supports such as you who are dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in Western Australia and ensuring the success and sustainability of local businesses.
Once again, I thank you and Murfett Legal for another year of support and look forward to the ten year anniversary of the program in 2016 and building on our relationship to achieve greater social and economic benefits from Western Australia.
Jason De Silva and Kelly Parker and their team provide the best legal advice, and also assisted us in developing our business strategy, as well as our personal affairs.
Their personal involvement and care say it all. It’s a one stop service for all our business needs.
We will always be grateful for the help Murfett Legal has given us. We can’t recommend them enough.
We have one agreement, don’t make a decision unless Jason or Kelly have first weighed in.
Wish we knew you guys 12 months ago, would have save us heaps of money and lost sleep.
Thanks again for your assistance and diligence in attending to this.
What a fantastic and fast result
I want to share with you my experience of the assistance my wife Kimmy and I received from Murfett Legal.
In short, I don’t feel that I could praise them enough. I cannot find fault with any of the work done throughout the entire legal process. I saw them exercise the highest levels of skill and expertise and maintain always a genuine concern for our case and outcome.
My association with Murfett Legal will always fill me with a feeling of gratitude as they rescued us from a terrible situation. Moreover, they returned us to a financially secure position, a better quality of life and importantly allowed us to know that justice was done in the end.
Our recommendation is the strongest we can give and is truly heartfelt.
In our capacity as Private Lenders Australia Wide we often come across clients who have many pressing issues.
For us to lend to such clients we often require the client to engage solicitors that can act quickly and professionally in order to produce a favourable outcome for that client.
I have no hesitation in referring clients to Murfett Legal as their professionalism, ability to act quickly and ability to obtain a favourable commercial outcome is unparalleled.
My (previous) medium sized construction company was experiencing financial difficulty. I was referred to Murfett Legal.
Jason De Silva was a breath of fresh air from the outset. He listened carefully to everything we had to say, asked specific questions before evaluating our situation.
Jason, together with Kelly Parker and their team, clearly outlined our legal obligations, gave timely legal advice, and most importantly made valuable recommendations that were not only legally compliant but also commercially savvy and pro-active.
Murfett Legal continues to advise me in respect of my business, corporate, property and personal affairs.
I highly recommend Murfett Legal to my friends and peers, regardless of their situation, for all legal support.
Great service and result. We couldn’t have been happier with the team at Murfett Legal.
