Our partnership with Greenhalgh Kerr and their work on our arrears cases, has made a significant difference to our business. We’ve seen a 100% success rate in cases brought before court, a substantial increase in early arrears recovered and generally better tenant engagement. They are proactive and we see them, in many ways, as an extension of our own team. I could not recommend their services highly enough.

“In general terms I cannot recommend Greenhalgh Kerr highly enough. Their success is clearly one thing we are pleased with.”

“Richard’s knowledge of ratings law is second to none, which is a big help when it comes to rates avoidance matters.”

“Greenhalgh Kerr demonstrated an absolute focus on getting the best result for Asset Advantage. They really feel like part of our business”

Greenhalgh Kerr's service is outstanding. Their attention to detail is excellent and they really support you with any issue you may be having. They communicate in a way for you to understand what they are doing and always advise you on what’s best for you with their honest opinion. Highly recommend.

Greenhalgh Kerr have proven to be a fantastic partner for the Revenues Department at the City of York Council. Their legal expertise, advice and knowledge of the current issues facing local authorities has proved invaluable to the resolution of a number of cases.

I want to say how impressed I was with Alex Worthington’s cross examination that he did on a trial he did for me. I’ve sat through I can’t tell you how many hearings in 25 years & that was definitely one of the best deconstructions of a defence that I’ve seen.

Following a number of reviews of our process, what we have established with Greenhalgh Kerr is a strong, successful partnership. This extends far beyond typical instruction, but into commercial advice and proactively looking in to how we improve and mitigate future risk. The team are incredibly attentive, not only are they a pleasure to deal with, but are extremely efficient and effective at achieving the results we expect.
