Commercial Law

Pagdens and specifically past commercial director Jean Opperman has given our company the very best legal support and advice over the last five years. They have helped us to navigate two particularly complex issues in our business with huge success, the last one being the sale of the business.

Jean and the Pagdens team has uncompromising integrity, business ethics and incredible depth of legal knowledge. She has a sharp intellect that enables her to cut through all the nonsense and crystallise the most important aspects to others – whether it be the legal team of the opposition or the very non-legally minded client! She is tenacious and ensures that issues are sorted out as simply as possibly. Apart from it being an absolute pleasure to work with Pagdens, it is also refreshing that one receives reasonable bills. Working with other law firms I have always resented their astronomic fees. I cannot recommend Pagdens highly enough.

Quest Petroleum operates within the energy sector and more particularly, within the petroleum industry. Our business entails complex transactions which require sound, tailor made and robust legal advice. We have been instructing Pagdens since 2014. Our instructions range from drafting of agreements, conveyancing, litigation, collections and general commercial advice.

The Pagdens team consists of a senior, experienced contingent as well as a younger guard bursting with legal knowledge. The attorneys are underpinned by friendly and competent secretaries, personal assistants and administration staff. The Pagdens team has always provided us with well-considered and sound legal advice. Their knowledge of law is always informed by the latest legal developments.

Our matters are in the main urgent in nature. Pagdens team deals with each matter with the necessary urgency without compromising on the quality of correspondence and process which ultimately go out. The aim is always to obtain the best commercial result. In contrast to other firms, Pagdens believes in value billing. As a result, their clients remain loyal and keep referring matters and also other acquaintances. We continue to enjoy a legal service superior to what we have experience anywhere else.
