Copyright Legal Assistance

Great Legal Support It is with pleasure that I express the gratitude we have for Charlotte. From the very first consultation to the final stages of our copyright case, she demonstrated a combination of exceptional legal judgement, dedication, and genuine compassion. In what felt for us like an overwhelming and uphill battle, Charlotte became our steady—methodical, strategic, and always pre-empting potential responses from the opposing legal team. Her understanding of copyright law, meticulous attention to detail, gave us the confidence and clarity when we needed it most. It was obvious from the start that we weren’t just a case file to her—we were real people with a real story, and she treated us on a very individual and personal level. We were impressed not in the just the expertise, but the way Charlotte communicated every step with patience, transparency, and reassurance. No question was too small, no challenge too big. She approached every aspect with calm determination and an unwavering commitment to protecting ourselves and demystifying the whole process. These experiences are not always clear – but Charlotte managed to reduce stress by continual explanation and identifying the message underneath the “legal jargon”. Thanks to Charlotte we arrived at an agreement satisfactory to both parties and we reclaimed our peace of mind. We are forever grateful

Having not gone through anything like this it's hard to compare, the conversations I've had with Jordan Higgs have always been informative and have been dealt in a very professional way, so thank you very much for achieving a good conclusion for me.

Excellent Advice

I needed help with a family dispute. The entire team at FBC from Julie Burn, Charlotte Clode, Rowan Jones to Angie Manley were very professional and gave excellent advice in helping me make the right choices on how to start and then proceed at each step of the process. Angie Manley went beyond the call of duty as a professional to help with advice and matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending FBC and would use them in future.

I can not recommend Mohammed highly enough . All Of the stress and anxiety was taken away because we were lessened to, given clear guidance from the start and the fact that someone was always available to speak to. I always left our meeting far happier than when I arrived and I felt that my concerns were always listened to and addressed with empathy. I never felt like a client , I was always made to feel that we mattered. This is imperative when you are going through such a stressful. Should we ever find ourselves in a position to require legal representation then I would not hesitate and I would know for sure that we are in the best hands possible

I have worked with David for many years and have always found him to be an exceptional solicitor. Most recently he helped me review, draft and implement a new shareholders’ agreement for my own business, which he handled superbly. His advice is always clear, practical and commercially focused. As an IFA I regularly introduce my own clients to David, as I know they will receive high quality advice and excellent service. Working collaboratively with trusted professionals like David helps achieve the best outcomes for clients, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

David is simply excellent - responsive and does not get into the silly arguments with other solicitors one often sees. He just gets his bit done, quickly ( super rare!) . Straightforward & sensible lawyer and sensibly priced - couldn't be happier with him.
