I have used Brachers before for a similar reason, each time they have offered first class advice and service.
I would recommend Brachers to anyone who requires a solicitors service.

Settlement Agreement Assistance

I was recently made redundant and presented with a settlement agreement, which must be reviewed, explained and ratified by a solicitor as part of the acceptance process. The solicitor who dealt with my case was professional, thorough and very clear in her explanation of what I was signing and where I should be asking for changes to language. She helped me prioritise to make sure I did not overspend, and she managed to agree with my former employer that they should pay increased legal fees to cover the time she had to use to adjust the contract. The whole team at Brachers were compassionate and also very quick and efficient - things that are important when you are focused on decoupling from a company that has let you go so you can get on with finding a new job. I am very grateful for all of their help - thank you.

Having gone through processes with solicitors in the past, you can often feel like you are irrelevant and they don’t care about your timescales and the pressure etc.

Clare was fantastic from the word go. Her communication and explanation of the process was perfect and at no stage did we feel stressed even when things didn’t quite go as planned.

I would highly recommend anyone going through a similar process to use Clare and should we be required to do anything in the near future, she will be our first choice. Thankyou!

Extremely helpful advice received from Joshua Williams, solicitor at Brachers in Canterbury. He was not only professional, offering very valuable advice, but also very friendly and approachable. I will have no qualms about returning for further advice.

Brachers are a long established and respected firm of solicitors. I recently went to the Maidstone office to review and renew my will.
I found the company both professional and friendly. Joshua WILLIAMS dealt with me. These are never easy issues to address. He personified the company's ethos, he listened sympathetically, set me at ease, quickly identified the path to take and promptly set about meeting my expectations. I was particularly impressed by the level of explanation to which Mr Williams went, to ensure my peace of mind. I found the whole experience cathartic.
I am indebted to the company and to Joshua Williams.
I would not hesitate to call upon their services again in the future.

I’ve recently purchased my first home and I was very lucky to have Tim Lancaster! Brachers as a whole were brilliant but Tim was especially hardworking and keen to get the purchase completed expeditiously and with as much ease as possible. Thank you to the team for making it a pleasant experience!!

This is my third time working with Brachers on a property transaction, and each experience has been nothing short of fantastic. A huge thank you to Diane, Clare and the rest of the team for their continued professionalism and attention to detail!

Despite some unexpected challenges during conveyancing, Diane managed everything with remarkable skill, keeping me in the loop and ensuring that matters progressed smoothly. Her expertise was apparent throughout, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and manageable process.

The sale of this property was a significant milestone, as the proceeds are supporting the ongoing care of a loved one. Diane's dedication and hard work played a crucial role in making this possible, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your outstanding service, which was truly exceptional from start to finish!

Excellent service, Rachel was always on top of everything , chasing the right people etc, and always responded to any questions I had very promptly.

Brachers are not the cheapest around but they are reasonably priced and are definitely worth more than every penny they charge.

I also really like the app. Last time I used Brachers this wasn’t about and it makes such a difference, making everything so much easier.
