I have worked with Michael Finch from HFK Lawyers for several commercial issues. Very impressed with his attention to detail, professionalism and experience. Highly recommended.
Had the opportunity to work with Michael and his team recently for an important commercial contract matter. We took some initial advice from 3 firms and Michael's structured approach and guidance seemed best suited to our needs. He was able to get the outcome we wanted. Definitely recommend.
