About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Help with divorce and finances
I was recommended to use Latham and Co and it certainly was the right choice. From the moment I got there nothing was too much, Chris understood every aspect of what I needed it was great and helped me through a difficult period. Also a massive thanks to Lisa, Bev, Donna, and Helen for the help and assistance regarding this process. I would recommend this company for anyone who needs help with any work regarding divorce and finances.

I have always had great service from Latham and Co over the 40+ years I have had dealings with this business. This latest need for their assistance was met with the same level of professionalism I’ve come to expect from all their staff. Chris and Bev are exceptional credits to your organisation. My thanks to all whom have dealt with my matter for me.
