What others say about me
Malcolm Coomber, of Hyde Corporate Finance, when commenting about a recent transaction Abigail led, said: “Having launched the client’s Plc at a very difficult time in the market we have made great progress and the fundraising will help to secure the positive steps we have taken. The help of Abigail Owen has been invaluable in completing this transaction.”
Mark Jenkinson, Director, Hunt and Palmer Plc, said: “The acquisition of another company is never going to be wholly uneventful however thanks to the excellent service provide by Abi Owen and her team at Rawlison Butler, the transaction on this occasion was completed without incident and within a very short timeframe. In this respect our sincere thanks go to Abi and her colleagues who worked through evenings, weekends and bank holidays to ensure we were ready to sign the agreement on the given date”.
Paul Camillin, Pitch Publishing Limited, said: “We engaged Rawlison Butler to advise on the acquisition of Know the Score Books, then in administration. Abi’s approach was first-class and she gave us all the necessary advice to complete what for us was a very new and complex deal for Pitch. She made it quick, easy and straightforward, but with all the correct legal advice, protection and peace of mind that gave us the confidence to complete the deal.”
In my spare time …
