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 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.

I recently used Emma Cox as my solicitor for a property purchase, and I was very impressed with the level of service provided throughout the process. Emma was highly efficient from start to finish, ensuring that every stage of the transaction progressed smoothly and without unnecessary delays. Communication was always clear and timely, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel well-managed and under control. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything moving forward gave me real confidence. I would also like to highlight the excellent support from her assistant, Alice Lai. She was extremely helpful and handled compliance checks, including anti-money laundering procedures, in a very efficient and professional manner. Her responsiveness and organisation contributed greatly to the overall smooth experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Emma Cox and her team to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor for property transactions.
We're so pleased to read of your positive experience with Emma and Alice in our Residential Conveyancing team, Rickie. We're glad we were able to help with your property purchase and look forward to working with you again in the future.

The Solicitor we used had good experience and understanding of the aera of law we were focusing on - trust. she advised us well, but the length of time we had to wait was too long, and i had to chase on numerous occasions.

Hi Denise, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry there was a delay and that you had to chase for updates, this was due to your solicitor having to take compassionate leave. If there’s anything you would like to discuss further, please email hello@barcankirby.co.uk or your solicitor directly.

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.

Life changing result
Having spent 7 years with Richard dealing with my extremely complicated case, which many would have given up on, I can only offer the very highest praise.His hard work, attention to detail and never give up attitude resulted in a settlement way beyond my expectations and deserves every one of the 5 star rating. I will miss my contact with him. If you are looking for a winner, do not bypass Richard Harries. He is the most caring professional I have ever dealt with.

I would highly recommend Gareth. He was patient, supportive and always took the time to explain things clearly. Communication was excellent throughout and I always felt well informed. His negotiation skills were outstanding and he worked hard to achieve the outcome I was hoping for. I am very grateful for his professionalism, dedication and support throughout the process. I am relieved to have been able to agree on an outcome without needing to involve the courts, therefore keeping my costs as low as possible. Thank you.
