What people say about the team...

"Our project team engaged Macalister Mazengarb to guide the company through the establishment and operation of a retirement village. Their work was always timely and the guidance was excellent. The many documents that had to be produced were professionally written and to the point. We would have no hesitation recommending Macalister Mazengarb to others"
Douglas Hutchinson (QSM), Project Lead, Trinity Home and Hospital
"Over the last few years Macalister Mazengarb have helped me on a couple of tricky legal issues both commercially and personally. The thing in my opinion that sets them apart is they actually care. They care about getting the best possible result, but ultimately, they care about their clients. I couldn’t recommend them more highly"
Gareth Mentzer, MD, Wool.Life
"We have used Macalister Mazengarb for the purchase of our first property so when it came to purchasing a holiday home we naturally went back. They were fantastic, enthusiastic and very helpful. Would happily recommend to anyone"
