Exceptional lawyer

Gearalt has proven himself to be an exceptional lawyer, helping me with balanced and considered advice. He has done this, whilst also sharing his passion for his profession, but also demonstrating his understanding of the importance of people and relationships during negotiations. He has vastly over delivered against my expectations, and I would, without question or hesitation, recommend him to act on both a personal and corporate basis.

Prompt and pragmatic

Our decision to work with Gateley is based on the relationship we have developed over 6 years with Simon. I value the fact that when you choose Simon, you get Simon. He takes time to familiarise himself with the business and our marketplace, and he personally handles the relationship. I’ve appreciated the fact that he consistently provides prompt and pragmatic advice and I will continue in recommending him and Gateley to associates.

First-class mediator

Gerard is a first-class mediator who I would not hesitate to recommend for future mediations. His commitment to the process is evident from the outset and he develops strong relationships with clients and representatives alike during the process which serves to create the perfect atmosphere in which to explore the options for settlement.

Tough litigator

Notwithstanding the gentle persona of Gerard Khoshnaw, he is an absolutely formidable, brazenly tough litigator. The combination of these attributes makes him a solid, dependable choice across a range of commercial disputes. He is a good listener and a problem solver.

A previous solicitor stonewalls me and wears me down, likely due to a conflict. I go to Gateley and I'm received by the (stunning) Mia at reception who runs off to find me someone that can help. Trainees in the reception gave me a warming chat about their career journey. Thanks.

"Exceptional Service - Highly Recommend!" I recently used Alison Reid from Gateley solicitors for the sale of my property, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. From start to finish, she was extremely professional, efficient, and incredibly responsive. She kept me informed throughout the process, answering all my questions promptly and ensuring everything went smoothly. The transaction was handled with great attention to detail, making what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless. I highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor for their property sale. Thank you for your outstanding work!

Horrendous

Horrendous. Gateley have directly cost me thousands of pounds. By not registering my self as the owner of my house with HM Land Registry, the one job I paid them to do, and assuring me it had been done properly, I am now incurring thousands of pounds of loss as I cannot remortgage my property. Can’t remember the last time I left a review, but given how bad Gateley have managed to me over, felt it was necessary.

Will and Dispute

Initially the solicitor was helpful and made promises. As time went on this was never fulfilled and in fact charged excessive fee's. I made it extremely clear 'not to carry out any work unless I agree' However, the solicitor took upon herself to continue and now I have a bill. I DO NOT recommend anyone to use Gately solicitors. The fee's charged are not clear with accurate details.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Escalated Complaint to Solicitor Regulator - unprofessional

Unprofessional with exorbitant charges - no follow up; significant delays and no breakdown of charges provided. No response from solicitors or responses to complaints, no acknowledgment from senior partners. Unfair dealings causing financial losses. They were supposed to be managing probate and settlement of my mothers estate - it’s been over 6months and they are still holding onto funds from sale despite telling me twice they’re going to make interim settlements - that was more than a month ago after chasing them repeatedly. Now they’ve gone completely silent. The solicitor and partner don’t even answer or return calls; no customer service e at all! They’re disinterested and treat clients unfairly. I’ve been left with no choice but to escalate to the solicitors regulator now. Hoping SRA sort it out, of course that’s even more delays and financial losses in the meantime.

Contacted Gateley regarding an article in the Daily Mail, Rory Lynch took on the case and the article was removed within the week. Rory and his team answered emails promptly and gave an amazing service.

Sporting guidance

Over the last few years, more so in the last few months, within a recent role i held I had the priviledge of working with Gateley Legal and being able to share knowledge across a multitude of areas. I met Claire Herbert through the Nottingham Panthers, in Slovakia, and then met again at a networking event. Gateley have been a significant driver in sports over recent years and were recently the main support for the Common Wealth games. Gateley helped me and the team I have had keep one step ahead in some areas like with Safe Guarding, sporting governance, employment law and a multitude of other areas where I needed assistance. I would definately recommend Gateley legal for anyone, not just sport, that needs a good sound judgement from a fabulous team that will support you through thick and thin.

They made the whole process feel easy, guiding me through every step and putting me completely at ease. I’ve already recommended them and will continue to do so to anyone buying a home.
