'Christian is first rate and acts for owner-managed and family owned businesses and leads the firm's family business team". 

Legal 500

"Having had no previous exposure to the corporate side of the profession, I knew from the initial introduction I was in the hands of a very experienced professional. Christian explained every aspect of a somewhat complicated process with great clarity, and I am pleased to say we achieved a very satisfactory result in a short space of time"

Peter Higham,

Higham & Co, Manchester

Christian Mancier provides excellent service as a partner. Very supportive, very commercially minded, and quick and constructive when it comes to finding a way through difficulties.
