    I was recently recommended Lydia at Thackeray Williams for advice and support with a settlement agreement. Lydia was fantastic. 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.

Redundancy is never an easy one to navigate, so I’m glad that Lydia's pragmatic approach helped to make the process clearer and more manageable. Wishing you the very best in your next chapter.

    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.

    Settlement Agreement

    Lydia provided advice in regard to a settlement agreement I was offered by my employer. Ahead of our first meeting she provided guidance notes which allowed me to come to the meeting fully prepared. Lydia explained everything thoroughly, giving advice where needed and kept me update through the whole process.

    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!

      Danielle and Melanie acted on our behalf with conveyancing on our attempted sale of our house and purchase of another. It fell through in the end, but we were very happy with their work and would definitely recommend 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.

      A representative from Thackray Williams LLP responded to this review

      Thank you for the wonderful feedback Sam and for your 5-Stars. We're so pleased that Danielle and Melanie could provide the professional, personalised service you clearly deserved after your previous experiences elsewhere. Complex cases require a lot of moving parts, and we’re glad their dedication helped navigate those challenges smoothly for you.

      Myself and immediate neighbours entered into a sale of part of our gardens to a developer. We instructed Thackray Williams and a Partner, Amit Bhangham, was our point of contact. Amit was knowledgeable, always approachable, professional and ensured we were all kept informed as the deal progressed. I would not hesitate to recommend TW and, if commercial property related, Amit Bhangham. Thank you Amit....you got us there!

Keeping all parties informed and remaining approachable, and accessible throughout, especially in a multi-neighbour transaction, is super important.

      I have just completed on the sale of my home, Stephanie Sculley and Claire Grice supported me during this process and I was very pleased with their support. My home sale was slightly more complicated than most as I had already moved out of the UK when we were in the final stages leading up to completion. Yet even being literally on the other side of the world Stephanie provided me at all times with clear communication, good market insight, and excellent coaching. Selling a house at the best of times is incredibly stressful, to work with Stephanie and her team meant I removed as much as the stress and drama out of the process which was possible. Thank you

      A representative from Thackray Williams LLP responded to this review

      Thank you for your wonderful review Tania. We're so pleased that Stephanie and Claire could provide the 'stress-free' support you needed, even from the other side of the world. Clear communication is vital, and all the more so, when working across different time zones. It's good to hear too, that Stephanie's coaching helped you reach a smooth completion. Best of luck with your new chapter.
