Dispute Resolution

Excellent Service - Highly recommend

I can’t praise Asim Din highly enough for his support and dedication in handling my commercial dispute case. The significant outcome was a direct consequence of his tenacity and tactical acumen. An outstanding professional giving clear and balanced advice. Fully explained the risks and options. Gave clear directions, invaluable recommendations and kept me informed every step of the way. All-in-all an excellent Lawyer and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing support with a commercial dispute.

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've used Karen Baker twice now, first time for selling, and the second for buying. Her knowledge and help is second to none. She picked four faults in the sellers solicitors contract, which would have caused so many problems further down the line. I would highly recommend her & Heyman &Co............Thank you Karen.

The team at Butcher and Barlow are a perfect example of synergy. The communication and professionalism of its employees are outstanding. Right down from the legal team through to the reception team who are as equally impressive. They are friendly and warm but remain professional and straight to the point – translating the intricate details of a complex legal system into a language I can easily understand. Their legal knowledge, speed at which they work, meticulous attention to detail, communication between the departments and ability to think outside of the box are truly impressive, so I feel confident that all aspects of my business are totally safe in their hands. So far, I have employed the services of their phenomenally tough and brilliant litigation department, the extremely detailed and fast commercial property department, and also their wills, contracts and HR departments who leave no stone unturned, protecting my future and mitigating any unforeseen events. Somehow, they have the ability to be succinct, yet provide a vast amount of pertinent information without waffling. They have always provided regular email updates which sum up the situation, reiterate what has been said, and then clearly state 'the next steps or options to choose from.' Brilliant. Amazingly, there has never been a spelling mistake or error in all the vast communication we’ve had over the past few years. If ever they propose any work, they always confirm the cost and ensure that I am happy to proceed first. I will never, ever go to any other solicitors’ firm - I have used many other solicitors throughout my life and none even come close to the ability, legal knowledge and meticulous attention to detail that Butcher and Barlow offer. Their professionalism is second to none. When I first established my business, I will never forget my Bank Manager advising that I ‘invest’ in good accountants or solicitors since they are “worth their weight in gold and ultimately save you money in the long run.” He was dead right.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Turner and his team, and I must say, they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. From the moment I reached out it has been nothing short of amazing. Mark's expertise and knowledge in his field are truly commendable. He provided me with frank and honest advice, which I greatly appreciated. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided me with clear guidance on the best course of action. He was always prompt in responding to my queries and kept me updated at every step of the way. I never felt left in the dark or confused about the progress of my case. I cannot recommend Mark Turner enough. If you are in need of a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients, look no further. Mark's expertise, honesty, and exceptional service make him an outstanding professional in his field. Thank you, Mark, for your invaluable assistance.

Our experience

We feel that the guidance received in choosing the different options was explained very clearly and with transparent potential costs. At all stages communicates were excellent and the complexity of the legal documents were broken down and simplified for our understanding. From beginning to end everything was dealt with. Not knowing how to proceed with the Deputyship and the full assessments required we were more than pleased with the results and outcomes. Due to this we carried on and completed both our wills and Lasting Power of Attorney ensuring we are covered for the near future. Thank you.

Feedback.

This practice was recommended to me by a neighbour friend of 27 years standing who had, along with siblings and in-laws used them a number of times over the years. I found SMN to be very affable with a sense of humour, easy to talk to and who asked pertinent questions about things I had not considered.
