  • Working with Wake Smith to promote the benefits of making and leaving charitable gifts in Wills has been incredibly beneficial for Sheffield Museums. Suzanne, and the Wills and Probate team are a delight to work with; they offer a warm welcome, expert knowledge and infectious enthusiasm and are very supportive of the museums.

    Most significantly, we continue to see an increase in legacy enquiries and this helps to support the long-term future of the city’s museums and galleries. We look forward to continuing to work together.

  • Firehouse Fitness has expanded its portfolio to three state of the art gyms across Sheffield with the help of Wake Smith Solicitors who advised us on lease matters. Our expansion has come when many leisure and retail businesses have reduced their estates and Wake Smith helped us take advantage of a new location and, in turn, access a whole new set of customers.

    Working with Wake Smith was fantastic. Paul Gibbon is so conscientious with his commercial property work and always has our best interests at heart. He is a great operator and genuinely cared about the work and what he was doing. I never thought it was just a tick box exercise for him.

    Shane Beard, managing director, Firehouse Fitness
