Outstanding Solicitors
We highly recommend Harrowells and our Solicitor, Richard Hugill in particular.
We had been having ongoing difficulties in obtaining informed support in a dispute with our neighbour (they had built on our land and over our DPC) Richard understood the problem immediately, identified the issues and a strategy for dealing with them. His drafting skills are particularly impressive!
This led to a successful conclusion, completely in our favour, where (before coming to Harrowells) it had simply stalled and we were left carrying the risk and with little hope of a positive outcome.
The support team - Laura Davidson in particular - was friendly, professional and efficient.
We would have no hesitation in returning to Harrowells if we needed Solicitors in future.

Support in litigation
We engaged Harrowells to assist us with a complex dispute with a customer. We found their expertise and clear communication immediately re-assuring and at all steps of the process Harrowells were proactive in managing all parties and giving us clear advice. Whilst a number of the legal issues involved were complicated, they were always explained to us in plain English with options and associated risks presented. Ultimately we achieved an agreed resolution through mediation avoiding a lengthy and costly court process and this would not have been possible without the excellent counsel from Harrowells.

We are very grateful for your considered and very positive feedback, which we have discussed with Richard. It is always very helpful to know what aspects of our advice and service are particularly appreciated by our clients so that we can build on that.
