 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jon was really helpful in reviewing a contract for me. He made clear every point I needed to consider - explained them and gave me points that I could raise if required. I don’t underestimate at all the importance of having someone review legal documents, but Jon is so down to earth and easy to talk to - I would recommend him to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ARES helped me during a particularly complex and stressful shareholder and company dispute, and I couldn’t have asked for better support.

They were clear and pragmatic and  helped me navigate what could easily have become overwhelming. I really valued their ability to explain my options plainly, and keep the focus on what actually mattered.

Communication was timely and professional, advice was well-judged, and I always felt they had my best interests at the centre of their thinking. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone dealing with a difficult contractual or legal situation.

I worked with Jon and his team on refreshing our client and subcontractor contracts this year and was highly impressed from start to finish - fast, knowledgeable and responsive - I got exactly what I needed and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Ares Legal for some support in creating handover contracts to our sub-contractors. We gave an outline of what we thought we needed and then were given some excellent advice and suggestions before the final version was provided. We didn't feel hurried, were encouraged to discuss our concerns so the solicitor could explain in detail why she had suggested what she had, didn't feel that any question was considered stupid and had our minds put completely at rest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ares Legal to anyone requiring good business focused advice. Thanks to Jon and the team.
