“I engaged Louise for conveyancing work on my land sale with an overage condition. This process lasted 9 months and was both protracted and complex, including many non-completion events followed by potential litigation. Finally, we managed to complete the sale. Louise was diligent, patient and competent throughout. She was tenacious in dealing with their lawyer and kept the overage clause in tact during tough negotiations. One could not wish for a more professional and supportive lawyer to act on your behalf. She was truly magnificent.”
