How We Help

Our commercially-minded solicitors have a wealth of experience advising clients looking to outsource important processes and functions. However, our expertise extends beyond simply advising on outsourcing-related issues. We will ensure that your outsourcing agreement has a comprehensive relationship management process and sets out clear processes that enable changes to be made to the agreement over the course of the business relationship.

We understand that every business or even department has different outsourcing needs. That is why we tailor outsourcing agreements to meet the needs of the particular sector, industry or specialism. This helps to reduce the risk of disputes and ensures that agreements are enforceable.

Contract pricing is also a concern for many of our clients. But the good news is that we can ensure that pricing is defined over the duration of the contract to provide you with peace of mind that savings will be delivered reliably. Plus, we will ensure that the agreement sets out clear expectations about service levels, helping to ensure that consistent standards are delivered.

What our customers say

I have recently sought the services of Witan solicitors and was thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend NAMITHA GOPAN, who provided sound legal advice, showed compassion and was highly efficient in her service.

Namitha has proved herself an extremely professional and knowledge able solicitor. I am very happy with her work.

Extremely happy

I have recently … dealt with John personally with our company Terms and Conditions which then extended into our order confirmations and variation sheets. … John was very thorough and questioned throughout the process to ensure the correct results. We now have a solid system for our Terms and Conditions, order confirmations and variations and also John recommended a further system called Docusign which has been revolutionary to our business. The only surprise John gave me was for a bill less than quoted for so I was extremely happy with the service, professionalism and the cost. … I would have no hesitation in recommending John to any of my customers or clients

We used Witan Solicitors for an ongoing dispute that we were having with one of our suppliers. We had been contesting over £7,000 of fees for over 12 month and then we asked John to get involved. After a couple of emails and one phone call the software provider backed down and accepted our settlement offer of £750. During the call John guided us through the contract. John advised that the fact that they had sent the software to us on a CD meant that there was a precedent for our case to be won. When we came off the call, John advised us that we, in fact, didn’t stand a chance of winning the case if it went to court. So, we were really shocked when they accepted the settlement. John really does know his stuff and it was a privilege to watch him in action. We really felt as though he cared about our case and he fought for us even though we had little grounds to win. Thank you, John

John, a token of my appreciate for your recent guidance and support. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you in 2018.

Had a complex question about a class action and spoke to a number of different solicitors before finding Cato on legal 500. It is a minefield finding the right advice and I had struggled to find anybody with the required expertise. Qarrar’s advice was clear, concise and straight to the point. I was able to resolve my issue, without the need for engagement and I left with a much deeper understanding of the issue and the peace mind to accept a proposed settlement. From my limited experience I would strongly recommend Qarrar Somji and Cato Solicitors.

After having some issues that lead me to seek legal advice, I contacted John and Qarrar at Cato solicitors.
they were very quick to respond and understood the urgency of my matter. They were thorough in their work and I can not rate the quality of their work and support highly enough.
Having got to know them both through my interactions with the firm, its also very refreshing to find a positive, pro active team of litigators who seem genuinely interested in their clients.

I just wanted to thank you for the work you’ve completed on our behalf. You diligently reviewed our case, shared your knowledge and gave advice. Armed with our new found confidence, under your instruction we confronted a long standing issue which resulted in the matter being amicably resolved. Importantly, this gave us peace of mind and an ability to forward plan. Additionally, the work you have done on our ToBs and Introducer Agreement will protect our business for many years to come and your insight into my Lease Agreement was invaluable. I will recommend you and Witan Solicitors firm to all companies who require legal protection. You are a good man.
