FBC Manby Partner Guy Birkett

Guy was appointed by myself in February of this year to assist with the purchase of shares from the estate of our deceased managing director , I have to say his knowledge is endless and his fast and efficient communication first class , I would happily use him again and definitely recommend him for anyone who requires such services in the future.

An excellent experience

We had the pleasure of working with Jas for the sale of our company where we agreed on a fixed fee. I cannot speak highly enough of Jas's professionalism, dedication, and hard work throughout the process. From the very start, Jas was extremely responsive and took the time to understand our needs and concerns. He was always available to answer our questions, very easy to talk with, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that the acquisition was completed successfully and within the timeline we had in mind. Jas's attention to detail and expertise were evident throughout the process. He was able to navigate complex legal jargon with ease and provided us with clear, concise advice that was easy to understand. His dedication to our case was remarkable. Overall, I would highly recommend Jas to anyone looking for a solicitor for their business needs. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment to his clients are truly exceptional, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. If you want to work with a solicitor who will go the extra mile to ensure your success, Jas is the right choice for you.

Laurie Carruthers completed 3 transactions amounting to 1.4 million over the last 18 months. These transactions were carried out in a professional, excellent manner and service. I will use Laurie and her team for future transactions without hesitation.

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.

Manby Bowdler was recommended to me by our daughter as we needed a solicitor to help us evict a tenant and the case was very complicated. The work undertaken by MB was exceptional considering the complicated nature of the case and the result was a win in the end, although it took a considerable amount of time.

Separation Agreement & consent Order

Hannah helped draft a Separation Agreement and eventually obtain a Consent Order in my favour in what eventually became a protracted and complicated case due to continual delays and obstacles presented by the other party. Hannah remained professional and diligent at all times, offering reassuring advice where needed.

Truly excellent service

Victoria Upton has assisted us with executing our father’s estate by applying for grant of probate and helping us with setting up a trust. At every point she has been incredibly efficient, we felt she was looking out for our best interests and she was very pleasant to work with. One hears horror stories of solicitors taking forever to do things but there was none of that. We were kept fully informed at every stage and everything was done very quickly. Thank you!

Child Law

Awful

⭐ 1/5 – Extremely Disappointing Experience I approached FBC because I was going through an incredibly difficult situation involving my daughter and genuinely hoped they would provide professional help and support. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. I was charged what I felt was an excessive amount of money, and when my circumstances changed and I lost my job, I found their attitude towards me became unpleasant and unsympathetic. When someone is dealing with a family matter involving their child, they are already under enormous pressure. I expected understanding, clear communication and professional support, particularly after paying significant fees. Instead, I was left extremely disappointed with how I felt I was treated. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend FBC. I strongly advise anyone considering using their services to carefully understand the fees, what work will actually be carried out and what support you will receive before agreeing to anything. I have kept the correspondence and records relating to my experience and am prepared to raise my concerns through the appropriate complaint channels. A very disappointing experience at a time when I needed professional support the most.

Overall Legal Counsel

I’ve had a really positive experience with FBCMB. They were consistently supportive, understanding, and genuinely caring throughout a stressful period in my life. Their communication was calm, clear, and reassuring, and I always felt they were looking out for me. I’d happily recommend them to anyone who needs a compassionate and reliable solicitor.

Excellent and efficient service

I contacted a solicitor from fbcmb and they worked really hard on my case. I was really struggling emotionally but they kept me going. They achieved a small win for me and potentially future people who might not have to go through the distressing situation I went through with lack of appropriate medical care for my father. I'm very grateful they helped me.
