What Clients say about Mario Savvides
“Mario’s professionalism and pragmatism are admirable. I felt confident and secure with his handling of many of my cases, not least because he demonstrated a genuine connection with myself and my situation, demonstrating technical legal ability and understanding my commercial decision making. He has given me confidence to make sound decisions whilst dealing with multinational companies”. Adnan for and on behalf of Shan Investments Limited
“We went into the sale of our companies with some trepidation, unaware of what we would be facing. Mario quickly became invaluable to us. He took time to explain all documentation, what legal terminology meant, what our choices and options were, all whilst normalising this very alien process for us. He was honest, trustworthy, deadline aware and (most importantly for us) fun to work with. We honestly could not have wished for more. Our experience working with Grant Saw has been extremely positive in all areas”. S Hubble and B Landen
