I appreciated Gabrielle's indepth knowledge and professionalism throughout the selling of our
family property. Always supportive, patient, helpful and very competent. She always made herself available when I needed advice, and explained legal procedures and processes in a way Icould understand. Tip top solicitor! Thank you so very much Gabrielle. Team members too, from the front desk to legal administrators, were approachable, very polite and very efficient. I highly recommend Gabrielle and her Team.

Julia and the team at Barcan+Kirby were very helpful and explained everything clearly with regard to our Wills and LPAs. They were patient and friendly. We feel very happy with the outcome. The documents produced reflect our wishes. Nobody likes to think about worst case scenarios, but we are so pleased to have sorted out this provision in a timely way. Julia made it seem really straightforward.
