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.

Great service
Abi and her team acted for us on a recent sale and purchase and they acted swiftly, very professionally and although I had lower quotes, they were well worth their fee. They were approachable and always available via phone and email. They made an always stressful process far easier

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 was our first interaction with Barcan+Kirby. We met Elsie on a networking event for Nursery Business owners. She has dealt very professionally and thoroughly with the purchase of our nursery; she provided sector knowledge and brought the different stakeholders together. We always felt greatly supported and out interests were very well addressed.

I have had the good fortune to have made the decision to work with Georgina and her team on the recent sale and transfer of my nurseries. Comparable to other solicitor teams I have worked, it is exceptional attention to details. The team ensures that review and point out any challenges in advance to ensure the process runs smoothly and keeps moving forward. I could not have asked for a better team on my side. Thanking them ever so much and there is no where else I need to look if ever I need any help in future.

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 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.

I cannot recommend Abigail enough for anyone navigating family law matters. From our very first interaction, she demonstrated clear and in-depth knowledge of her field, always breaking things down in clear context so I completely understood where I stood. Going through a very stressful time in my life, Abigail went above and beyond to keep me calm and made the process as stress-free as possible. She is so friendly, approachable, and genuinely relates to how you're feeling, offering incredible empathy alongside her professional expertise. Her unwavering support has meant the world to me, and I will be forever grateful for everything she has done.
