Being involved in a commercial dispute unfortunately became unavoidable. At that time we needed strong, commercial legal advice which is exactly what we got from DGB. We really valued Debbie’s calm, no nonsense tenacity and her absolute diligence in driving matters through to resolution. We hope we won’t be in that position again, but we know where to go if we are.

DGB Solicitors provided fantastic commercial insight as well as diligent, detailed work to support me finalise my legal matters. Their advice is straightforward, extremely practical and looks at all potential pitfalls, pain points and areas to consider from a really 360 degree business perspective, rooted in expert legal knowledge but actually much broader than that.

We run a yoga business and the onset of Covid meant moving our classes on line as quickly as possible with all the compliance considerations this brought with it. Debbie was thorough, producing useful pre-meeting reading material so that our on line meeting was focused and targeted, ensuring best use of our time working together. Debbie has a wonderful ability to explain complicated legislative matters in an easy to understand way and to contextualise the importance of these matters too with direct relevance to your business. Working with Debbie has meant that I am more confident I have correctly identified and minimised risk for my business. We are much more resilient moving forwards.

I was impressed by Debbie Black’s clear insight into the case and her attention to detail. Should we be in the unfortunate position of needing assistance again we look forward to working with Debbie and her team again.

We are a construction company undertaking a number of significant projects at any one time with all the challenges this brings.

Debbie Black worked with us on reviewing risk within our business; she looked specifically at areas that are contentious or potentially problematical for us to help future proof us. I found Debbie very professional, thorough and succinct. She assimilated a lot of information in a short period and worked precisely to the brief we agreed.

We are implementing immediately a number of her recommendations and look forward to working with her again.

We recently instructed DGBS to prepare some new terms of membership. Not only was it very important to us that the documentation dealt with the necessary legalities, but also that they were easy to understand, in plain English and not in legal jargon.
DGBS understand our membership and that was paramount to our needs. They have a really positive approach to the service they are delivering. The end result being documents which were put together really well and reflected our initial objectives.
The service they provided was excellent and personal to us. They are brilliant at what they do and have an excellent insight into the sector. They really are experts in their field.

I spent 2 days working with Debbie Black, conducting gap analysis on Aggregate Industries’ response to claims, stress testing our systems and looking at how our internal departments could work more closely in managing risk. It was, at times, challenging and thought-provoking. An external eye was very useful in reminding us that systems are only as good as they are used and monitored.

I enjoyed working alongside Debbie, who is very personable, passionate about managing risk and provided valuable advice and recommendations that the Company will benefit from.
