    Excellent support with my settlement agreement

    Mohammed provided a professional, efficient and friendly service throughout the process of reviewing and progressing my settlement agreement. Everything was explained clearly and in an easy to understand way, and communication was prompt from start to finish. I felt fully informed throughout and appreciated the sensible, honest advice provided. The whole process was handled smoothly and professionally, and I would happily recommend Mohammed to others.

    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 can highly recomend Claire Jackson at Butcher and Barlow. She has supported me in resolving a TOLATA matter with honesty, transparency and clear consistent advice throughout. Claire is extremely knowledgable and takes the time to explain everything clearly, emails are responded to in a timely manner and the pricing structure is fair and transparent. I would not hesitate to contact Butcher and Barlow for any legal matters again in the future.

      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.

      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.

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
