Excellent Professional Service

I’ve dealt with Asim now for a few matters and he has been exceptional. Asim has handled a highly sensitive court case and also provided legal services to support business activities and in all cases he has communicated clearly, provided high quality work and billed us fairly each time.

Outstanding Service and Genuine Client Care

Greg Porter is truly outstanding and a real asset to Butcher and Barlow. From the outset, he has consistently listened with great attention to detail, ensuring that all key information is captured the first time, I’ve never had to repeat myself, which speaks volumes about his professionalism and focus. His service is always professional, efficient, and highly responsive. Greg clearly prioritises his clients’ best interests at every stage, and this is reflected in the high standard of service he delivers. I would highly recommend Greg Porter and Butcher and Barlow to anyone seeking reliable and dedicated legal support, without hesitation.

Professional and Reliable Settlement Agreement Advice

I instructed this firm to advise me on a settlement agreement with my employer. The service was professional, with clear communication and a thorough explanation of the legal aspects, which gave me confidence in the process. While the focus was primarily on reviewing and advising on the agreement itself, the support provided was reliable and efficient throughout. Overall, a professional and dependable service for settlement agreement advice.

We have used Butcher and Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space, and Jonathan Alderley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy. 10/10

I have worked with Catherine & Laura throughout my divorce process. They both supported me through a really difficult divorce, and non molestation court hearings, answered any questions, kept me up to date and I couldn’t have asked for better through a hard time. I would highly recommend to anyone this wonderful team.

I recently engaged Mark Turner of Butcher & Barlow to handle two litigation cases. Both cases were concluded to my complete satisfaction and without having to go to court. One of the cases involved the recovery of a substantial amount of money. I was very impressed with Mark's professional attitude throughout and timely response to issues as they developed. I will have no hesitation in using Mark again if needed, and can thoroughly recommend his services.

My family could not recommend Greg enough. He has been a brilliant solicitor to us throughout our legal dispute over our share of our late mother’s property and succeeded in making sure we received our portion of the sale. We couldn’t have gotten through the dispute without his help. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service and Smooth Lease Extension Process

Kelly provided an excellent service throughout my lease extension process. She kept me updated at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, including dealing with my mortgage lender and the completion formalities. I really appreciated her attention to detail and support throughout what could have been a stressful process. I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone needing conveyancing or lease extension work carried out.

Completion of Litigation

I was very thankful that Thomas Sedley and Emily Scott took over a litigation which had been badly handled by another pair of solicitors in a different firm of Bury solicitors. I am now delighted to be able to say that I am a very satisfied client of B&B because Sedley & Scott outlined their plan at the outset and carried it through as quickly as the local Manchester court could process it.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton at Butcher and Barlow did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to B&B, and Helen in particular.

My brother and I appointed Butcher & Barlow as our solicitors to advise and support during the administration of probate on our late father's estate. Our parents had previously used this company for approximately 25 years and had full trust in the firm. Butcher and Barlow, and in particular Samuel Dale and Jenny Brown, along with the rest of the team, proved to be knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive at such a difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Butcher and Barlow and will use them in the future, should the need arise. Their help was very much appreciated.
