“John McGovern at Grimes, McGovern & Associates acted for my partner and me in selling our London-based international events and media business to a large German corporation. The sale completed at the end of January 2017. John was active in seeking buyers, and provided calm and considered counsel during the extended final negotiations with two of them. The sale schedule was disrupted by the UK’s vote for Brexit midway through it, and John was always ready to have the tough conversations about value which arose because £ sterling exchange rates moved sharply following the vote. I would certainly recommend him to other owners.”
