Rob, Georgina and Hevy were absolutely amazing guiding me through the sale of my business, nothing was too much trouble and when thing became very stressful and tense they were there to help. I even had glowing reviews from my selling agent, telling me that they were one of the best legal firms that they had dealt with.
Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Thank you

Rob and Stephen and Barcan and Kirby provided fantastic support and advice to our company. They recognised the time constraints we were under and were able to deliver the work very efficiently to help with this. Service and communication was brilliant throughout and we will definitely be returning when we require additional services in the future.

Steven and Rob at Barcan+Kirby were friendly and approachable, and took the time to understand the requirements and needs of my business and showed a genuine interest in it. They delivered the work within the time and budget constraints of a start up. They responded to questions quickly and kept me updated throughout the process and I am really pleased with the final documents.

Mr Rob Davenport When we needed a solicitor to lead the sale of our business Barcan+Kirby came highly recommended to us. We would like to thank you and your team at Barcan + Kirby for the outstanding support, guidance and total professionalism that you showed throughout the process. The due diligence process at first sight seemed a very complicated and frightening task but at every stage you and your team were always there to help us in a friendly manner giving us clear and precise guidance. We would like to take this opportunity to again thank you and to wish you all every success in the future. Kind regards Katie Gray, Janet & Alfie Phillips

We worked with Barcan+Kirby on a number of acquisitions and found Oli and George to be thoughtful, responsive, and commercially minded throughout. Rob also provided valuable support on a separate matter. What stood out most was the ability to have frank, open conversations around the practicalities of the deals, something that really helped get them over the line.

We had multiple matters handled by the teams at Barcan + Kirby, some of which were time-sensitive. Everything requested was handled most professionally in a friendly and helpful manner. Everyone we dealt with made themselves incredibly approachable and kept me up to date with progress.
