Nina Ryan

We would like to send you a testimonial to highlight the excellent professional service and support we have recently received from Nina Ryan. Nina constantly conveyed clear, concise and very sound professional advice throughout all the stages of the sale, always going above and beyond, and this was accompanied by her calm and empathetic approach, which was so much appreciated by us both, particularly when our stress levels were ‘on the ceiling’! Without doubt, Nina’s totally genuine professional commitment to us as her clients ( and to all parties) along with her close attention to detail, and an accomplished ability to be able to negotiate and communicate with multiple parties during difficult times, was a key factor in taking the sale through to successful completion. It was a huge task for Nina to keep the sale timeline on track with the other parties and Nina expertly navigated the challenges and curve balls as they came along with unfaltering professionalism -and just the right sprinkling of humour, to keep us sane, when needed!

I wanted to drop you a line to say what a fantastic job Nina did on our recent business sale. She worked tirelessly throughout often working out of hours to complete on a deal which had its ups and downs along the way. This is the second deal Nina has worked on for us and interestingly on the first deal we did with her the buyers were so impressed that they are using her on a deal of their own! A very nice lady who goes the extra mile to get the deals done!

We cannot thank you enough for all your help, advice and for going above and beyond what we ever expected. You for sure have been our angel throughout this whole process for which we can never thank you enough.

We worked with Nina on the sale of our book of insurance business and thankfully Nina was able to hold our hands through what is a very daunting process. She gave 100% and without her hard work I am not sure we would have been able to achieve the result. We would thoroughly recommend Leathes Prior and Nina.

I am extremely grateful to Nina Ryan and Leathes Prior Solicitors for their legal advice and guidance during the sale of my shareholding in a private company. Thanks to them the terms of the sale were successfully negotiated, the legal work efficiently executed and a timely completion achieved. I am very satisfied with the outcome

Thank you for the fantastic support and help you gave me in selling my half off the business. A special thank you. As you know this was the second dealing in 2-3 years we had with you. You always rung back, answering calls (sometimes stressful) and always in a calm way. You are a credit to your self and your company. I will always recommend you and the company.

From start to finish Paul and Nina were in complete control of our affairs offering nothing short of perfection in communication to complete the acquisition of my company

I found Richard and Nina to always strike that perfect balance of taking care of my position and being practical and commercial at the same time; advising me on which issues really were worth fighting for and which ones really did not matter. They were always timely and responsive, and their proposed weekly zoom call with the buyer and their solicitors, meant that issues that arose got quickly resolved. It was a complex transaction which completed spot on time with no last minute hitches or dramas.

There was good communication between the solicitor dealing with our case and liaising between all parties involved, leading to the successful completion. Solicitor was courteous, informative and helpful in dealing with matters, all went smoothly and in a good time frame. Would highly recommend and refer Leathes Prior Solicitors to prospective new customers/friends.

After a lifetime running businesses, and building YTKO Group to 100+ people and £7m turnover, I thought carefully about various exit and succession options for some time. Establishing an Employee Ownership Trust was the best way to ensure that our values endured for the next 40 years and that our dedicated team would be able to reap the rewards of their hard work, commitment, loyalty, and passion. Choosing the right professional advisors to help us through the process was essential. Alex, Nina, and the Corporate team were outstanding, not just in terms of the legal due process, but in how they supported us - swift and practical replies, often out of hours, great availability by phone/teams, a super attitude, and a real team push to get us over the line when we encountered a last-minute obstacle. They really felt like an integral part of our senior team. I would absolutely recommend them without reservation.
