Prompt, expert, efficient and good value
I have used Longmores for various areas of need over the last 20 years or so. They have been unfailingly efficient, capable, and very prompt to respond. They are also very reasonably priced in my view for the expertise that they have. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Advice on Life Interest Trust and CGT liability
I had a 30 minute telephone conversation with Richard Horwood. He had taken in the briefing paper I had sent him and answered all my queries clearly and succinctly. This was followed by a letter confirming the advice he had given.

Will/Trust Planning
Richard was excellent in assisting us with arranging our Wills, it was something we had put off for ages but Richard made the whole process enjoyable and straightforward. Richard also took the time and patience to answer all of my questions to ensure that I fully understood everything. I would have no doubt in highly recommending.
