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.

Top Solicitors!

We had an outstanding experience working with Andy, Lewis and Emelia at Butcher Barlow, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. Andy and his team – Lewis and Emileia – acted for us on a highly complex £6m transaction, and their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm approach made an enormous difference throughout the process. Highly recomended!!

Professional, Reassuring and Highly Effective Solicitor

We recently worked with Asim Din for a litigation matter, and I honestly can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us. From the very start he has been supportive, clear with his guidance, and extremely patient during what was a very stressful and uncertain time for us. The situation we were dealing with was difficult, and at times felt completely overwhelming, but he handled every stage professionally and calmly, always explaining things in a way we could understand. We always felt reassured that he had our best interests at heart. The outcome he achieved for us was far better than we expected given the circumstances, and we are genuinely grateful for his hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend Asim Din to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, reliable and compassionate litigation solicitor. He made a very challenging experience much easier to cope with, and we are extremely thankful for his support.

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

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.

I can't comment on service once instructed but I phoned for a quote for selling a house, gave all my details, was told they'll email me a pack. No pack sent so phoned up to be told they're not taking on any cases. Very disappointed considering last week I was told they would send me the quote and pack, now they're suddenly not taking on cases. Also disappointed because I had been recommended their service from a family member who have used them recently. I also part own a small private company involving buying and selling houses, needless to say I won't be sending business their way.

Contentious Issue resolved immediately

I was delighted with the service I received from Thomas and his assistant Emily Scott. I had a contentious probate issue following on from misinterpretation of a Will. I was getting nowhere and other firms wouldn't help. I had spoke to Thomas previously and he clearly was passionate and eager to assist as was his assistant Emily. The level of professionalism was exemplary that I received from this firm. Phonecalls and emails responded to without delay. Reassurances given and renewed confidence installed in my predicament. I had previously had the firm recommended to me and now I know why. I was in an almost intractable position through administrative errors in a Will. The situation was thoroughly investigated by Thomas and colleagues and resolved within a few short days. I highly recommend this solicitor and his firm as a gold standard solicitor,knowledgeable,thorough and dedicated with a confident manner. A credit to the profession and Butcher & Barlow.

Dispute Resolution

Resolving a parking dispute with my neighbour

I contacted Butcher and Barlow, as I have used these solicitors for many years, with my will and POA. I was directed to Paige Lester and was able to get an immediate face to face appointment to see her. At the time, I just needed advice, as I was lost as to how to resolve my problem. Paige immediately understood the problem and pointed me in the right direction to hopefully resolve the issue. After exploring what she suggested, we found an area in my Transfer Documents, which spelled out what could be actioned. Paige complied a letter to this effect and it was then sent to my neighbour. Since then, the problem seems to have been resolved and I am hoping this will continue. I can't thank Paige enough for all her wisdom and help and I know that if the problem should return, that I can go back to her for more help.

We have used Butcher & Barlow to buy our new house and as first time buyers they have been great at explaining the whole process and also keeping us in the loop. We didnt feel the need to chase for updates as we knew they were working hard to get our house sorted and gave us plenty of updates when we did ask as we were unsure mainly due to the sellers. Thank you to Amanda, Freya and Megan for your help with this process and being so patient when we know our process was not the easiest.
