Professional, reliable, active listener, proactive and responsive.

I had the pleasure to have Lydia’s assistance to deal with a settlement agreement with my employer. She was very communicative, flexible and reliable from start to finish and made a stressful process feel smooth and easy to go through. She managed to get the agreement through the line within the agreed budget and did overall a fantastic job, showing empathy and genuine care in the process. I can’t recommend Lydia enough.

A true expert, she explained all the legal terminology in simple terms, gave recommendations for improvements and led the negotiations on my behalf to a positive outcome. Thank you

I engaged Lydia's services to handle a settlement agreement following redundancy. From our initial phone call, through our face to face meeting and all subsequent interactions Lydia was always very clear and transparent about the process - and costs, and pragmatic in the advice she provided. She was able to secure me an increased payout and improved terms of the agreement. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else going through a similar situation.

Advice on Settlement Agreement

I have used Thackray Williams previously, so they were a first choice for support and advice on a settlement agreement with my employer. Lydia Button was able to schedule a prompt meeting, with flexibility of in person or virtual meeting. Despite the short notice she had reviewed the documents in detail and was able to provide good counsel, not seeking to change things unnecessarily, just providing good explanations and advice and changes only where necessary. She always responded promptly to further queries, and the agreement is now settled.

Great too, to know that Lydia provided you with the prompt, detailed, and practical advice you needed, to navigate your current needs; and despite the short notice, that she was well prepared.

I worked with Lydia Button at Thackray Williams LLP on a protected voluntary redundancy and she was excellent. Really professional, responsive, and quick with turnarounds, while also being very understanding and approachable. She made a potentially stressful process much easier to deal with and kept me well informed the whole way through. Highly recommend!

Absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Thackery and Williams Solicitors! We approached them for assistance with a small legal document, and Julian was simply fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. Julian went above and beyond to support us, especially given the time-sensitive nature of our situation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our needs. Thanks to his efforts, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Thackery and Williams for anyone in need of legal support! Five stars all the way!

The calm, rational explanations and solid professional legal advice provided by my solicitor, Faye Shortall, made a big difference to me at what was a very difficult time in my life. If you are having difficulties and are struggling to come to a satisfactory resolution in a civil fashion, I cannot recommend Faye Shortall and Thrackray Williams Bromley enough.

Very happy client

Our experience with Karim was a very positive one indeed. He was very helpful with myself and Claire as first time buyers. Always happy to take a call which was a lovely touch as can find some solicitors will only reapond to emails. We can't fault the professionalism and support we have had from TW during our house move. Thanks again!

Efficient and smooth process

Melanie at Thackray Williams did the conveyancing for the sale of my flat in London. Communication was good, and overall the process worked well. The actual sale took a long time to complete - but that was entirely down to the buyer's end repeatedly causing delays. I did sometimes have to chase up if I hadn't heard anything for a while (typically if there had been no actual progress in the meantime), but Melanie was persistent in chasing the buyers' solicitor behind the scenes, and eventually the sale went through fine.

I’d like to say a big thank you to Manaal and Rhiannon at Thackray Williams Solicitors for all their help with the purchase of my new home. It wasn’t the most straightforward purchase, and there were quite a few complications along the way, so I really appreciated having them there to help me through the process. Buying a house is a big milestone, and I’m very grateful for the time and effort they put into helping me get everything completed. It was a relief to finally complete and get the keys to my new home! I really appreciate everything Manaal and Rhiannon did to help make that happen. Thank you both for all your hard work and support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Thackray Williams to anyone buying a property.

As the freeholder of a property, I needed advice on whether a lease required a Deed of Covenant to be drafted on its transfer – it turned out that it did, due to its age. Previously, I had contacted a number of other firms, and they had all turned down the work or asked me to send in an email which was replied to a few weeks later if at all. With Thackray Williams I was put straight through to David Gibson who clearly outlined the relevant law and what was required. When the leaseholder requested that the Deed be produced quickly, so as not to delay completion on the sale of the lease, Thackray Williams stepped up to the plate. I found all staff very professional and accessible and couldn’t find fault. I’ve no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them.

We had a very positive experience with Danielle and Melanie, who handled our case with professionalism, care and attention throughout. After previously having poor experiences with other solicitor firms, their personalised and high-quality service was a breath of fresh air. The purchase and sale case was complex and constantly evolving, but they remained responsive, knowledgeable and committed from start to finish. We always felt supported and well-advised and they ultimately got the job done. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and client-focused solicitors. We are very grateful and highly reccomend Danielle and Melanie.
