Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Giles joined us in 1999 as a Partner with over 20 years’ experience of Commercial, Agricultural and Residential Property Law. His clients, who are based throughout the UK, include public limited companies, financial institutions, landed estates, developers and high net worth individuals. Giles’ approach to his clients is to work constructively and proactively to get the job done, resulting in a number of clients who have followed him from his previous firms and are still with him 25 years on. Prior to joining the firm, Giles trained and qualified at Theodore Goddard (now Addleshaw Goddard) before moving to Horsey Bomer in 1997. Now with decades of experience and Senior Partner for the firm, Giles still enjoys working at the firm, mainly because of the people and our ethos of doing an excellent job, delivering excellent client service while not taking ourselves too seriously. Outside of work, Giles spends his time walking, playing golf and spending time with his family and two working cocker spaniels.

ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check

How the Suitability Check works

The ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check is designed to help you understand whether a law firm may be suitable for your legal matter and to support you in deciding what to do next.

It brings together information from publicly available sources, regulatory data, and verified client reviews and ratings to make it easier to compare law firms and connect with a solicitor who may be suited to your needs.

ReviewSolicitors works with thousands of law firms across the UK, many of whom actively collect client reviews through our platform. We aim to make it as simple and seamless as possible for you to find, compare, and connect with a law firm that may be able to help with your matter.

However, the information shown here is based on data that is updated periodically. Solicitors can move between law firms, law firms may change the areas of law they offer, and capacity to take on new client matters can vary over time.

Checks on whether a law firm is accepting new clients are carried out on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the information available to us. While this helps keep information up to date, we cannot guarantee that all details will always be accurate at the time you view them.

In some cases, a law firm may appear as “Not accepting new clients through ReviewSolicitors” because they are not actively engaged with us or have not confirmed their availability. They may still be accepting new clients directly, and if you are unsure, it is always best to contact the law firm directly to confirm their expertise, availability, and whether they have the capacity to handle your matter.

About this score

This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score

This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like. When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Difficult sale of property

I have just completed a very protracted and difficult sale of a property. The difficulties did not relate directly to the property itself but to a whole host of unexpected and unforeseen problems. Parker Bullen, and Amy Cushing in particular, very diligently worked though these issues and a resolution was eventually achieved. I was not directly the client but the economic beneficiary which made matters more difficult. Very happy with outcome
