Straight away his approachability and transparency put me at ease. He moved at speed, paid attention to detail, kept me updated and provided realistic advice. Not only was he able to defend me from an unjust accusation, his persistence, defence of my best interests and in-depth legal knowledge allowed me peace of mind. He fought my corner and made sure to keep costs to a reasonable level. I WON my case! I can absolutely recommend Sanjeev without reservation." - REB

SUMMARY: Drafted a bespoke contract for a company seeking to expand their services to a larger client base.

SUMMARY: The client came out of a long-term abusive relationship. As with any long-term relationship, there is usually informality when it comes to setting out who owns what (as was the case here). We were asked to assist with the issues regarding the property jointly owned by the parties. We were also asked to assist in resolving issues surrounding the ownership of shares in a business and as well as an agreement in respect of ownership of items.

SUMMARY: A major bank alleged our client had a secured loan which was repayable immediately. They were applying significant pressure on the client for repayment. After investigating the matter, we demonstrated to the bank that the loan was actually unsecured which resulted in (i) a favourable settlement, (ii) a refund of interest not chargeable by the bank and (iii) removal of a charge entered against the client’s property (proven to have been related to another loan) which the bank should have removed.

“Having been messed around repeatedly by litigation solicitors and getting nowhere, I was finally advised by my property solicitors to get in touch with SP Legal Solutions who from the start I found very helpful in every situation that arose.

"Our group of companies has been using SP Legal for the last two years and during that time we have been extremely impressed with the speed, efficiency and flexible pricing structure of the firm. One of the most important aspects is that Sanjeev Punj takes time to understand each issue and find practical solutions on a cost effective basis in a personal and tailored way. As a multi-faceted business there are always issues which are different, but all of them you need to undertake a cost/benefit analysis for. Some cases don’t warrant much money spent on them, and some do. The flexible approach that Sanjeev offers is ideally suited to provide a business with that flexibility. Finally, there is no waiting around for Sanjeev. He understands when something is important and needs to be dealt with quickly, and is always on top of his brief with a solution or a way forward with any issue.

SUMMARY: Client was pursued for damages following their failure to follow through with a house purchase at auction. The client had already lost their deposit and wanted advice and assistance in defending the claim.

“I was completely at a loss and really stressed out with a claim that I thought was totally unfair. I put in my own defence with help from a solicitor but knew I needed more help. I found SP Legal Solutions online and met with Sanjeev who listened to me carefully. He did not give me any false hopes and reminded me that it did not really matter if it was unfair, but whether it was legal! Sanjeev spotted a point missed by my previous solicitor and within one email, got the other side to agree to drop their case against me. My family and I are so relieved that this is all over. I am very grateful for all Sanjeev has done for me and wish him every success for the future.” - DM

Thanks to Sanjeev, I managed to successfully resolve all of the issues and am now able to move forward positively with a number of other exciting projects.” – SA

Within the first day of instruction, he managed to convince the other side to withdraw their application and settle the claim for a sum we were happy with. He then settled another claim for me again coming from a personal guarantee and again for a sum I was happy with. Form my experience as Sanjeev is so easy to talk to.

Settled the matter by entering into commercial discussions with the other side while also agreeing for the original order to be set aside. 

“Sanjeev Punj was recommended to me to solve a legal issue which I was misled about. Initially I was sceptical about whether or not he could make a difference. So with nothing to lose I decided to engage his services and expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way. He got the electrical company to agree to the terms I needed and I got the outcome I was after and the one I originally expected. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone who has any legal issues. He is one of the good guys in a legal system which is difficult, especially when you don't fully understand the processes involved. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.” - RS

I shall certainly use you again should I ever need to and shall definitely recommend you to others. Thank you very much for all you did for me.

SUMMARY: Client was sold a faulty fork-lift truck and the seller refused to refund it despite being provided with evidence of its faults

“Sanjeev came recommended by a member of a networking group I attend. I had a previous set of solicitors in Birmingham city centre acting for me, but I was unsure as to the progress they were making so I switched to SP Legal Solutions. I’m very happy I did. Not only did they give a clear and concise review of my case and options, but we won our case in accordance with the advice received.” GJ

SUMMARY: Drafting a shareholder's agreement to govern the relationship between its members which included provision for dealing with disposal of key assets such as high value land

“Sanjeev had previously assisted our family business with the successful winding up and removal of a difficult commercial tenant from our premises. We have a number of business interests and wished to restructure our business to enable us to be in as good as position as possible when conducting any future deals.

He also helps conclude matters at a sensible cost while providing a high level of service throughout.” – RK

SUMMARY: Acting in a partnership dispute which involved allegations of harassment, threats of injunctions and pre-action disclosure

“Sanjeev was brilliant from the word go. I have had a bad experience with solicitors before, so when I was introduced to Sanjeev, I was initially wary as to whether or not he could deliver what I was looking for. Sanjeev from the outset made it his goal to get to know me as his client and also what I was looking for. Explaining my situation to him, he quickly recognised what both of us needed to do. Throughout communication he has been professional, punctual, understanding and a very strong backbone for my company. I called him often during unsociable hours and he would always answer. His attention and dedication to my case was 100%. This gave me more faith in his judgment. What I also like about Sanjeev is his advice will be based on what is best for the client, not just in terms of the case, but financially too.

“My business was being chased by a national supplier for a figure that I was adamant my business did not owe. After spending two years trying to sort it out myself and getting nowhere, I found out about SP Legal Solutions and decided to engage their services. Within two letters, they reached a settlement for a third of the amount claimed. I found SP Legal Solutions very calming and very professional. The result was better than I ever could have thought.” – AA

SUMMARY: Client was owed a significant amount of money by a large company who after presentation of the winding up petition paid our client in full

"Sanjeev, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your recent help, advice and support in our dispute over payment with a much larger company. As a small business, cash flow is extremely important and when faced with a non-paying customer we were daunted with the prospect of trying to pursue them for money owed. Thankfully, SP Legal Solutions had been highly recommended to us and I could see why. In our initial phone calls you immediately calmed us down and explained the process in simple terms avoiding the legal jargon that is often used. Throughout the process not only have you acted professionally at all times but have given us sound advice and support to which I am delighted to say SP Legal Solutions resolved our dispute and we received the full amount outstanding without the need to attend court.

He took a brilliant approach explaining his reasoning to me throughout the whole process, keeping mine and my family’s mind at rest. I have had much further progress with SP Legal. Although the case is still ongoing, I feel that with Sanjeev’s work ethic, he will represent us well. He is fantastic at keeping in touch and sticks to deadlines.” – AD

SUMMARY: Client was contacted by a supplier who had received, accepted and used the goods and then sought a refund despite having used the product

"We contacted SP Legal Solutions upon recommendation following a rather concerning (and unjust) letter received from a one-off customer. The response was quick, efficient and to the point. Sanjeev was extremely helpful and reassuring, keeping us completely informed throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend SP Legal Solutions, and should the need arise, will have no hesitation in using their services again. Many thanks Sanjeev and the team." - JT

SUMMARY: Client was being aggressively pursued for a debt putting a significant amount of pressure on its ability to trade

"I was referred to Sanjeev as my company was in a spot of bother. A regular and well known corporate supplier decided (after we moved the main bulk of our orders to another supplier), to call in our debt and revoke our credit terms (contrary to what we agreed). This resulted in a large amount to clear in a very short space of time, coupled with a threat of a winding up order if we didn't comply! A real nasty and disproportionate action considering we had always paid our suppliers. After speaking to Sanjeev, he immediately stepped into action. He wrote an email to the creditor's solicitor within 10 minutes of our call, and calmed the situation down straight away. This slowed them from taking any action. He carefully went through the whole case and looked through all of the communications and immediately settled the case that same afternoon with an affordable payment plan for us! I wish I had spoken to Sanjeev sooner, as he may have averted all the stress and heart ache in the first place. I'm definitely keeping hold of his number, and will gladly recommend him to anyone facing any legal disputes in the future. Thanks Sanjeev." - KS

SUMMARY: Provided assistance in respect of a dispute with a local authority for alleged unpaid business rates

“We encountered a problem with our business rates when our local council sent us a £12,200 bill which was for rates on two of our offices backdated for four years. We very strongly disputed this as the billing was completely inaccurate as we believed we qualified for small business rates relief. There then followed six months of trying to get to the bottom of the matter with the council, to little effect. The council then issued a court summons and at that point I was referred to Sanjeev to help me to sort this issue out. His advice was invaluable and within a week he persuaded the council to withdraw the summons, and he has put the onus back on them to sort this issue out correctly and in the proper manner.  Sanjeev has been highly professional throughout the whole process and was very clear on the steps that needed to be taken, giving me very detailed guidance. On a personal level, it was great to have someone on our side who took the pressure off what has been a highly stressful time dealing with the stonewalling and lack of proper communication from the council. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sanjeev and I’m definitely keeping his details on file for future reference.” – DT

"Sanjeev, we would like to say to you how grateful we are that we had you as our solicitor. You have worked so hard on this case and you have always calmed us down when the stress of it all was getting too much.  You always had time to talk things through with us to make us understand everything and we couldn't have got through it without with you. We can't explain how much we appreciate it and it's been lovely working with you we couldn't have had a better solicitor." - JF

SUMMARY: Acted for a private landlord in obtaining a successful repossession of their property 4 weeks ahead of the date the client was aiming for

SUMMARY: Assisting a sole trader in recovering a debt which the debtor was avoiding paying despite the work being undertaken and not disputed

"I had a client who had still not paid my invoice after 4 months. Outstanding debts like this can be a big problem for small businesses such as mine. My many polite reminders were getting me nowhere. As soon as Sanjeev at SP Legal Solutions got involved, I was paid in full within 24 hours. That's what you call getting results!" - BG

SUMMARY: Providing advice and guidance in respect of a complex repossession claim

“I was provided with Sanjeev’s details via a barrister. So it was by complete happenstance that I got in touch with him.  From my experience, most solicitors provide a great impression about what they can do prior to obtaining their fees, and later, once they obtain their fees, don’t always provide the service they suggested they could. With my recent case, I needed to decide on how best to proceed and consider several factors such as costs and my own time I could dedicate to the case. Sanjeev has been very considerate and provided me with help and assistance. What I found most helpful about Sanjeev was his willingness to answer all my queries, often out of hours. He is a truly dedicated, genuine and definitely a solicitor who I trust and wish the best for. God bless and thank you.” - WA
