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.

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.

Sale of my Businesses
We instructed Georgina Byrant of Barcan and Kirby in Bristol although we are based within M25 corridor. She came highly recommended and how rightly so. The transaction was quite complex as we were selling our company established almost 30 years ago. Georgina handled the sale with considerable care, diligence and speed. She ironed out all the potential difficulties and often only involved us after she had found solutions although she kept us fully appraised throughout the transaction. She his extremely capable and for got along with everyone and used common sense and the phone to achieve a timely sale on excellent terms. Her entire office and team were a delight to deal with and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.....I only wish I had her as my solicitor 30 years ago!

This law firm was recommended to us by our business sales broker. We had a choice of 3 and spoke to each one, but the friendliness and reassurances from Barcan+Kirby is why we chose them to advise/assist us with the sale of our nursery business. I would highly recommend them for any legal services required.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this great review for our Corporate and Commercial team, Tara. We're glad the team was able to assist you with the sale of your nursery and look forward to working with you again in the future.

A huge thank you to Elsie Lyford and her team in the Corporate and Commercial department of Barcan & Kirby solicitors for their help in selling our dental practice in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The process is indeed a daunting one but Elsie dealt with the buyer’s solicitor, the NHS, the CQC, and guided us through every step from initial introductions to completion with calm professionalism and expertise. I would highly recommend Elsie Lyford and her team at Barcan & Kirby to help sell your business. Gordon Hood Cirencester.

A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review
Hi Elaine, as discussed with Kim, all relevant documents outlining your ownership of the property have been shared with you. During your recent phone conversation with her, you confirmed you are uncertain about which of part the property is not owned. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t any further assistance we’re able to provide at this stage.

Thanks so much, from Lynn & Gary
Thanks so much from Lynn & Gary Our Review referring to: Barcan+Kirby Kingswood & Bedminster Branch staff. We have very recently completed the sale of our late mother’s bungalow via CJ Hole - Kingswood Branch, Barcan+Kirby were amongst a list of recommended Solicitors to consider using received from CJ Hole. The whole process from our first meeting with representatives from both the Kingswood and Bedminster branch right through to final completion, we found the process to be completely stress free. The team coordinated all requirements efficiently and effectively. They were excellent at keeping us up to date on all aspects of progress. We would like to add a special thanks to Caleb Kay, Laura Roberts & Robyn Eamer who we found all extremely helpful. We can’t thank the team enough for their expertise and knowledge, time, care and support. We highly recommended them. Thank you all.
