Project Description
Ashwoods
Ashwoods is the UK’s leading supplier of hybrid commercial vehicles, and also provides a wide range of associated low carbon products.
Since 2009, Probert Legal has been responsible for negotiating their licensed agreements with distributors, as well as other contracts relating to their product range.
Director Mark Roberts sums up his view of the service provided in one word – “Excellent!”
He continues: “Ed Probert is phenomenally efficient as our commercial lawyer. You can speak to him for just five minutes on the phone and he will be able to go away and write a full contract based on that and get it right first time. Very few people have his ability to understand instantly what needs to be done, then get it done so efficiently.
“From the client’s point of view, this is fantastic as it saves time all round. Of course, Ed is highly experienced so he knows all the pitfalls and can ensure we avoid them.
“Ed is extremely pro-active. He will make suggestions based on his wide experience and add his perspective, which is always spot on. One thing that always amazes me is Ed’s remarkable ability to ‘get it.’ He really does get it; he understands what makes the business tick and also what all the individuals involved want to get out of the business. This insight means that he approaches our contractual work in a way that is always completely in line with what we would want.
“As Ed Probert understands our business so well, it is just like having an in-house commercial lawyer as part of our team. As an innovative and ambitious company, we value the efficiency this brings us, helping us cut through issues and continually drive the business forward.”
