We were using some pretty expensive city lawyers before — but we wanted to get one consistent supplier, whilst being conscious of the cost. We chose esphr after careful consideration of all our options. There is a real in-house feel to the relationship, in that they know our business and the issues we face.

It is very rare to find someone who genuinely appreciates what we want to achieve and tailors a solution around that. Everyone at esphr is open and honest and wants to help make your working life better – this is the way all business relationships should be. I do not want to change supplier every few years.
