Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

I used Tom at Butcher & Barlow to negotiate a commercial lease on our new premises. Despite numerous obstacles, delays and timeline pressure he responded to every email and returned every phone call within 24 hours. His guidance remained calm and resolute throughout which gave me a lot of confidence with an unfamiliar process. He was trustworthy and fair priced. So much so I have now used the company's services for will writing and employment law.

Excellent service and advice from Mohammed and Maizey.

I recently used Butcher and Barlow Solicitors for an employment settlement agreement, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Mohammed and Maizey. They were prompt, professional, and took the time to explain everything I needed to know in a clear and straightforward way. The whole process was handled quickly and efficiently, making what could have been a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I would definitely recommend Mohammed and Maizey, and Butcher and Barlow Solicitors, to anyone needing advice or assistance with employment-related matters.

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.

Sam came highly recommended by a friend so when we wanted a second opinion on a legal matter we sought his advice. Sam explained things in a way that we could understand and we felt that we had met someone we could trust. We will definitely be using him in the future.

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.
