Amy and Josie have built such a valuable service for companies like Small Pharma. They waste no time in getting to the heart of the matter. And when we've got more plates spinning than we know what to do with it's so valuable to be able to deal with legal, commercial and finance in a single conversation.

“We landed on our feet when we were introduced to Josie” was how our CEO described her to me when I joined Medefer, and I can second that comment. She has managed numerous traditional “finance” and SMT / board reporting matters during her time here at Medefer. However she has also picked up various other issues including option scheme management, compliance matters, staff development and some particularly nuanced shareholder issues. She is efficient and pragmatic, with a huge range of experience which means she “gets things done” whatever you throw at her. She has been a valued member of the team for several years now, and all those who have worked with her recommend her highly.

Amy has been an outstanding partner for Senzer over the past two years; providing invaluable advice and support over a wide range of areas. She can quickly understand what the key requirements and underlying issues are and applies a commercial and strategic lens to everything she does. She is efficient and pragmatic, and an absolute pleasure to work with at all times. I could not recommend more highly!

Josie has been supporting us at Scape Technologies for close to a year, as an external Financial Director. Josie has been providing us with the expert advice (always quick to reply to a question), modelling support (helped to build a forecast tracker sheet which live updates with our Xero data), and piece of mind to allow us to focus on growing our business without needing an in house financial superstar. Josie's support is excellent for an early stage startup as she's able to advise where needed, flag things we might not have thought of, and dig deeper into tasks where helpful.

Tin Man has employed Amy and her team as their ‘in-house’ legal team for 18 months now and they have proved invaluable. Amy is calm, thoughtful and supportive in everything she has helped us with. She provides superb legal counsel and really takes time to understand our legal issues and think around problems in a smart and do-able way that works for our industry. We’ve been delighted with her service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.

Amy's advising on a number matters from GDPR to Trademark registration. We've been very pleased with her advice so far as she's a strategic thinker, who keeps our commercial goals and constraints in mind, and provides advice that's timely, actionable and causes the least frictions to a small but rapidly-growing business like ours. Would recommend highly!

Amy's clear, sensitive and pragmatic advice distinguishes her as a legal advisor. We've enjoyed working with Amy for 3 years and counting and will continue to refer our clients to her and the Holt Baker team for support with commercial and IP and data protection issues.

Josie has been truly excellent for us, on a whole number of transactions and commercial solutions, she is dynamic, a great listener and a keen problem solver. She also has bags of experience and has been instrumental in propelling us forward as a business.

Amy puts clients first. Throughout a busy Christmas period, her attention to detail was outstanding and she put time aside for Equinox Living to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Amy is always polite and has a superb attention for detail. A much more personal service than dealing with larger law firms we have experience with and an excellent communicator. Highly recommended.
Darius ZiatabariDirector, Equinox Developments

Amy is a pro! But more than that she is a joy to work with. As a growing business gaining opportunities with big league clients we find ourselves in various David and Goliath situations regarding contracts. Amy stepped in to negotiate a game-changing contract with a global heavyweight client. With great skill, communication, emotional intelligence she smoothed the way meaning we could go to the next level. As well as the excellence of knowledge, it is the people skills that made us feel truly supported and took the headache away. I would highly recommend Amy as an ally and partner for a growing business.

Amy offered amazing advice when I was establishing my business, she was thorough and reliable and I would highly recommend her services.

I have used Amy's services on a variety of matters over the past 12 months since she became independent. She has provided excellent advise - combining legal knowledge but also practical / operational recommendations - a key combination for top lawyers. In particular, she helped The Pigeonhole navigate GDPR successfully and smoothly. I am happy to know Amy is on speed dial to help solve our problems. If there was a star rating, I would give her five!
Jacob CockcroftFounder, Pigeonhole

Amy has been our "in-house" legal counsel for almost 18mths now. She is quite simply fab! Amy brings intellect and real world understanding to everything she does for us, understands when we want to take something to the nth degree and when a light touch is more what we are looking for. She has helped us with such a variety of work (content licenses, royalties, commercial contracts, GDPR, general advice...I could go on and on) and is definitely a trusted advisor. She takes time to really understand what we do and why, and this understanding really comes through in her deliverables. Most importantly, Amy is a super nice person and brilliant to work with

I’ve worked with Josie on several occasions and really enjoyed the experience. She’s smart, hard-working, perceptive, and fun. Each time, I’ve always had universally good feedback on her. I consider her one of my trusted advisors.
