Helping others to move their business forward
Julian Phillips, Magic Group
of Companies
Magic Group is the management company
behind Thames Valley Harley-Davidson
in Slough and Dockgate 20 Harley-Davidson
in Southampton.
"I first worked with Graeme Quar & Co on employment law issues 10 years ago. Today, I'm running a business with 160 employees; Graeme Quar advises us on our legal rights, contractual obligations and changes in employment law. We've stayed with this firm for so long because we always get very clear, concise and honest information, and a quick response."
Paul Evans, HGP Architects

London and Fareham, HGP is a substantial
architectural practice operating throughout
the UK and Europe. The firm's rapidly
expanding portfolio includes retail,
leisure, residential, conservation,

"We've known Graeme Quar since he started out by himself - he had his first office in one of our properties. In 2008, we completed what was essentially a management buy-out; it was a complicated deal involving two or three interrelated companies and a tight deadline. Graeme Quar was the first person we contacted, as we've worked with him for over 12 years and he's always been excellent. "
Ian Voller, Vollers The Corset
Company Limited
Established by Ian's great-grandfather
in 1899, Vollers is the only surviving
member of an industry that once employed
over 9,000 people in the Portsmouth
area. Today, the company makes a range
of corsets in modern fabrics, based
on the original designs.
"We went to litigation against some former employees who'd taken my great-grandfather's designs and tried to set up on their own. We knew Graeme Quar & Co were specialists in business law who had worked on other legal matters for us and always got things done quickly. They recommended that a search-and-seize order was the way to go; although it's very difficult to do, they managed to obtain one in the London High Court with his Court specialist Richard Barnett. This was a delicate and very emotional case. Graeme Quar & Co really suited our needs."
Andrew Lamburne, Rank Developments
Ltd
Rank Developments Ltd is a commercial
property developer based in Hampshire.
The company specialises in high-specification
new-build industrial units for freehold
sale or rental.
"We went to Graeme Quar & Co a few years ago and we've been working with them ever since. Graeme has helped us with purchasing land dealing the banks and solicitors involved, sales of units, drawing up tenancy agreements and sorting out problems with tenants, and providing general advice along the way. We like the fact that it's a personal service and we're talking directly to him; in a big legal practice you can easily get lost in the establishment."
