Excellent Professional Service

I’ve dealt with Asim now for a few matters and he has been exceptional. Asim has handled a highly sensitive court case and also provided legal services to support business activities and in all cases he has communicated clearly, provided high quality work and billed us fairly each time.

Top Solicitors!

We had an outstanding experience working with Andy, Lewis and Emelia at Butcher Barlow, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. Andy and his team – Lewis and Emileia – acted for us on a highly complex £6m transaction, and their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm approach made an enormous difference throughout the process. Highly recomended!!

Professional, Reassuring and Highly Effective Solicitor

We recently worked with Asim Din for a litigation matter, and I honestly can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us. From the very start he has been supportive, clear with his guidance, and extremely patient during what was a very stressful and uncertain time for us. The situation we were dealing with was difficult, and at times felt completely overwhelming, but he handled every stage professionally and calmly, always explaining things in a way we could understand. We always felt reassured that he had our best interests at heart. The outcome he achieved for us was far better than we expected given the circumstances, and we are genuinely grateful for his hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend Asim Din to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, reliable and compassionate litigation solicitor. He made a very challenging experience much easier to cope with, and we are extremely thankful for his support.

We have used Butcher and Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space, and Jonathan Alderley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy. 10/10

The team at Butcher and Barlow are a perfect example of synergy. The communication and professionalism of its employees are outstanding. Right down from the legal team through to the reception team who are as equally impressive. They are friendly and warm but remain professional and straight to the point – translating the intricate details of a complex legal system into a language I can easily understand. Their legal knowledge, speed at which they work, meticulous attention to detail, communication between the departments and ability to think outside of the box are truly impressive, so I feel confident that all aspects of my business are totally safe in their hands. So far, I have employed the services of their phenomenally tough and brilliant litigation department, the extremely detailed and fast commercial property department, and also their wills, contracts and HR departments who leave no stone unturned, protecting my future and mitigating any unforeseen events. Somehow, they have the ability to be succinct, yet provide a vast amount of pertinent information without waffling. They have always provided regular email updates which sum up the situation, reiterate what has been said, and then clearly state 'the next steps or options to choose from.' Brilliant. Amazingly, there has never been a spelling mistake or error in all the vast communication we’ve had over the past few years. If ever they propose any work, they always confirm the cost and ensure that I am happy to proceed first. I will never, ever go to any other solicitors’ firm - I have used many other solicitors throughout my life and none even come close to the ability, legal knowledge and meticulous attention to detail that Butcher and Barlow offer. Their professionalism is second to none. When I first established my business, I will never forget my Bank Manager advising that I ‘invest’ in good accountants or solicitors since they are “worth their weight in gold and ultimately save you money in the long run.” He was dead right.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Turner and his team, and I must say, they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. From the moment I reached out it has been nothing short of amazing. Mark's expertise and knowledge in his field are truly commendable. He provided me with frank and honest advice, which I greatly appreciated. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided me with clear guidance on the best course of action. He was always prompt in responding to my queries and kept me updated at every step of the way. I never felt left in the dark or confused about the progress of my case. I cannot recommend Mark Turner enough. If you are in need of a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients, look no further. Mark's expertise, honesty, and exceptional service make him an outstanding professional in his field. Thank you, Mark, for your invaluable assistance.

I can't comment on service once instructed but I phoned for a quote for selling a house, gave all my details, was told they'll email me a pack. No pack sent so phoned up to be told they're not taking on any cases. Very disappointed considering last week I was told they would send me the quote and pack, now they're suddenly not taking on cases. Also disappointed because I had been recommended their service from a family member who have used them recently. I also part own a small private company involving buying and selling houses, needless to say I won't be sending business their way.

Fantastic Legal Support

Needed to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney in a quick time frame. Contacted Butcher & Barlow and was allocated a very quick initial appointment. Met up with a cracking lady, Hannah Sharrock. What a class / quality act and highly professional. Saw the whole process through with inclusion of our son and daughter. I have been so impressed with Hannah and Butcher & Barlow that I have recommended friends looking for a similar process.

POAs and Notary Services for Real Estate Transfer

My wife and I use Butcher and Barlow for all our estate management. Earlier this year we worked with Chris Hopkins and Ella Woodier on my wife's will and our POAs. The service was excellent. Most recently we worked with Laura Cuddy and Anthony Higham on a transfer of American real estate. The service was top notch, including coordination with our American attorney. I would highly recommend Butcher and Barlow.

Beyond excellent

The immediate response from Alex following my cancellation of our first meeting told me all I needed to know about trusting Alex. I rebooked soon after and still can’t believe the level of care & support I received over the next 1.5 yrs. My divorce was deliberately made difficult & lengthy by my now ex spouse. Nothing phased Alex as she navigated me through the whole process, offering options & strategies that only someone with her level of compassion & experience could do. During face to face meetings I found Alex to be friendly, patient and completely committed to finding out my exact wants & needs. Due to Alex’s commitment to communication, I can honestly say that I felt truly supported rather than stressed during the whole divorce process. I needed to ensure I received half of what I had invested into my 30+yr marriage otherwise I wouldn’t be able to survive in the future. This involved securing a sealed financial order which I felt was gained expertly by Alex, on my behalf. I am now happily divorced and currently purchasing my own home. My future is now secure & I will be forever thankful for Alex’s unwavering support and outstanding expertise in ensuring the desired outcome for me.

We have used Butcher & Barlow to buy our new house and as first time buyers they have been great at explaining the whole process and also keeping us in the loop. We didnt feel the need to chase for updates as we knew they were working hard to get our house sorted and gave us plenty of updates when we did ask as we were unsure mainly due to the sellers. Thank you to Amanda, Freya and Megan for your help with this process and being so patient when we know our process was not the easiest.
