What our clients say

I’d like to thank Shilpa Unarkat of Sydney Mitchell for the professional yet approachable way in which she handled our new commercial lease in 2019.

Shilpa made a point of keeping us updated at all stages with regular personal updates – we had complete confidence in her experience and expertise which left us free to concentrate on our own business rather than get bogged down in the legal aspects of moving.

I’d happily recommend Shilpa and Sydney Mitchell to anyone looking for legal assurance and representation when taking on a new commercial lease.
