All 3 Arms of Thackray Williams LLP are consistently excellent!

I have been on TW Solicitors' books since 2020 until March 2026, and I can wholeheartedly say that they are an absolutely city-calibre legal outfit. Across every specialist arm of TW, you can guarantee the very same standard of excellence in service. Their solicitors — spanning Family Law, Wills & Probate, and Conveyancing — are absolutely top-notch. They know their craft deeply, and each one carries an air of quiet confidence that places you in the safest of legal hands, whilst remaining refreshingly positive about outcomes. Crucially, they also set realistic expectations — something that has always been greatly appreciated. When it comes to administrative matters, I have never once had cause to question their billing, owing to their exceptional level of transparency and clarity of presentation. Should you need to contact them, their response times are remarkably swift — invariably within the day. Their management team are humane and approachable, always willing to reach a reasonable agreement should the need arise. I could go on indefinitely, drawing from six years of real-life experience — but suffice it to say, I would not flinch for a moment in recommending these well-oiled legal minds. Their offices are equally impressive, which only confirms that this is no gimmick of a firm, but rather a responsible practice that takes genuine pride in its reputation. As I closed my files with them, it was a beautiful conclusion — and delivered precisely on time. I have never witnessed a Conveyancing team (Mr Whichcord and Mrs Wright) execute with such perfection, completing matters with a couple of days to spare. Then there is the Family & Divorce team — Mr Gorman, with his formidable network of connected barristers, commands instant respect in any courtroom; judges are left in no doubt that these are serious, no-nonsense legal minds. And Ms Lovis in Wills & Probate delivered well ahead of schedule, with a standard of presentation that was nothing short of impressive. All I can say of this excellent, honest, and transparent legal firm is this: they are, quite simply, THE Best — in Bromley and beyond. My sincerest thanks to each and every one of them, including Mr Ruff, Mrs Burstein, and the entire management team.

Caroline was brilliant throughout a difficult family law matter. She helped us understand what was realistic to ask for, kept everything grounded and fair, and took so much of the stress and worry out of what could have been an overwhelming experience. Her advice was always sensitive, clear and delivered with real confidence — it was obvious she genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for our family. Highly recommend!

Galbraith Gorman dealt with my divorce for 2 years, not a week went by with updated information, I could not thank him enough in what was a very hard work divorce by my ex wife, even through covid19 he still kept upto speed and knocking the obstacles down, always one step ahead definitely worth the money.

We have recently purchased a new house and Thackray Williams were our solicitors. The staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for them. Even when, half way through the process, and unforeseen circumstances meant our solicitor changed, their professional and dedication meant this had no negative impact on the service they provided. Zoe was brilliant, and did all she could to ensure we completed, even allowing us to complete early. We would highly recommend the company. Thank you for all you have done for us.

I found myself needing a family solicitor and Anne Francis was recommended, what can I say apart from AMAZING she went above and beyond what I ever expected our case was slightly unusual but was always handled in the most professional way and always kept me informed of what was going on. I would never have got through the worst time in my life without her and Leanne. Thank you both so very much. Alisa French

Helpful and considerate

Selling my mother’s home we found Andrew & Claire at Thackray Williams professional, helpful and understanding. The whole process from offer to the buyers moving in was completed in 6 weeks 6 days. Despite a Land Registry issue arising from a previous firm of solicitors. It was nice to have trust in Thackray William.

A representative from Thackray Williams LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention Mr Northwood. Whilst additional costs can arise during conveyancing (and other) matters, our teams work hard to ensure that unexpected additions are communicated in a timely manner, and I know our teams do issue ‘cost warnings’. Obviously, it’s not appropriate for me to disclose any of the details surrounding your matter, especially on a social platform, but I would encourage you to reach out to your solicitor. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to connect with me, as the firms' Head of Client Experience and Engagement - katrina.walker@thackraywilliams.com

Outstanding!

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Danielle throughout the sale of my home and the purchase of my new one. From start to finish, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism and efficiency. Danielle's communication was outstanding—I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions I had were answered promptly and clearly. The whole process felt far less stressful because of how approachable, knowledgeable, and supportive she was. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to keeping everything moving smoothly made a real difference. I always felt confident that my sale and purchase were in safe hands. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a solicitor who is efficient, communicative, and genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Danielle, for making what could have been a stressful experience such a smooth and positive one!

Thackray Williams did a wonderful job on the recent sale of my mother's house, and the subsequent purchase of her new home. They were polite, knowledgeable, responded promptly and kept the momentum going on the transactions. Huge thanks to Sarah Streeton and Manaal Razvi who acted on these matters.

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!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review Mr Capon and for the 5-Stars. It's good to know that Amit provided the knowledge and professional support needed, for your garden sale. Keeping all parties informed and remaining approachable, and accessible throughout, especially in a multi-neighbour transaction, is super important.
