Carole guided us, as a Board, and as individuals, through a tricky settlement, without having to end up in Court. Her advice was prompt and explained, enabling us to balance options and come to a satisfactory resolution.

I can’t recommend Suky highly enough. With the support of Kate, they both helped me win a case that truly felt like it was against all odds. From the start, they were professional, supportive, and completely honest about my situation, giving realistic advice at every stage. Their communication was excellent; clear, timely, and easy to understand which made a stressful process much more manageable. They showed me all of the qualities you want in great solicitors: attention to detail, strong knowledge, integrity, patience, and genuine care for me as their client. I always felt listened to and well represented. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal support.

Engaging Higgs was my first experience instructing a firm of solicitors. I contacted them to outline the nature of my charity’s dispute and to request an estimate for amending the organisation’s Particulars of Claim (POC), which had been drafted incorrectly. I expected, particularly at an early stage of the engagement, and on the assumption that this was standard practice, that a solicitor would speak with me directly to ensure a full and accurate understanding of the issues based on the information initially provided. This was not the case. A significant portion of the initial fee quoted was used to review a batch of documents received from the defendants’ solicitors. An additional fee was required to complete the amended Particulars of Claim. Before Higgs was able to proceed with drafting the amendment, the defendants’ solicitors filed an application to strike out the claim, which the court accepted, in part because the amended Particulars of Claim had not been filed. It then became pointless continuing with the amendment. Although the advice I received on my charity’s position was helpful, the engagement was not as I expected. On reflection, I would have insisted on a meeting or direct conversation with the solicitor much earlier in the process. This would have allowed me to ask questions, clarify key points, and address any potential gaps in their understanding of the claim. It may also have ensured they fully appreciated the merits of the case beyond what could be conveyed through documents or brief email exchanges. Additionally, I would have stressed receiving the amended POC was a priority as initially instructed. I noted that the defendants’ solicitor adopted a highly creative approach in constructing arguments to undermine or dismiss our claim, including advancing assertions and inferences that were, in my view, unfounded. While I fully appreciate that solicitors must act with integrity and cannot engage in any form of dishonesty, which I would never expect or want, I had anticipated that my own representatives would adopt an equally robust and imaginative approach in identifying legitimate arguments to strengthen our case. I believe this approach could have been explored had direct conversations taken place.

I would highly recommend Sangeeta Kohli to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate and highly knowledgeable solicitor, particularly when dealing with the difficult and emotional process of divorce. From the very beginning of my case, Sangeeta was extremely professional, approachable and understanding. She took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and always made sure I understood my options before making any decisions. Divorce can be a very stressful and challenging experience, but Sangeeta’s calm approach, attention to detail and commitment made a huge difference. I always felt that my case was being handled with care and that my best interests were genuinely being considered. She was responsive, reassuring and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how small they may have seemed. Her knowledge and experience gave me confidence during what was a very difficult period. I am extremely grateful to Sangeeta for all her hard work, support and guidance throughout my divorce. She went above and beyond to help me achieve a positive outcome, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce solicitor. Thank you, Sangeeta, for your professionalism, kindness and dedication. You have been absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process.

I have worked with Higgs on several corporate transactions over the last 6 years. I have always found them to be efficient, approachable and professional. They take the time to demystify the jargon and make sure that you understand the commercial decisions you are making. They are highly responsive and pull out all the stops to get a deal over the line when needed.

Jamie Partington and Richard Freeman at Higgs acted for our company on its seed investment round this year. Being new to raising investment we needed a fair bit explained, and they did so clearly and patiently, with advice that was practical and commercial throughout. They were quick to respond, sensible about costs and kept everything moving to completion. We will certainly be using them again. Highly recommended.
Highly professional Phil, Ellie & Charlotte went over & beyond in a difficult situation
Very honest and straightforward advice and support. Super efficient
Efficient and Professional. We used Higgs LLP for selling and purchasing a domestic property/conveyancing and for Wealth Management advice. The service provided was excellent. The company is highly recommended.
When my elderly Grandmother was receiving palliative care at home two absent family members appeared to help to look after her. My Mother who lived with her and was her sole carer was suddenly set upon and we were locked out of her property. The Police and Social Services did nothing to help us. We then received a sympathy card through the post.. She had passed away. We then discovered that she has been financially abused by people that she thought she could trust. Her property was left to my Mother. We had to break in to discover that they had looted the place, everything had gone. After several failed attempts at contacting her Doctor (my own GP) to ask what had happened I was informed that this firm would help get that information for me. I felt positive after an introductory meeting here. I have no other family to turn to, no support, no help. This firm was our only hope. I have since being bombarded with bills, threats of bailiffs, court action and debt collecting companies. I have been forced into setting up an account that I shouldn’t have simply due to lack of communication being unable to ask or get advice from anyone. My Mother is vulnerable and suffering from a complete mental breakdown. I have received no communication with anyone since December 2024. I tried to reach out to one of our solicitors recently but was told my query would be passed onto the other solicitor who is handling our case. My Mother has paid this man, we received the bills from him. After asking I received no response again. We then received an e-mail stating that his hourly rates would be increasing. Nobody has responded after being told my query would be passed on as this was in November. I can honestly say I have been pushed to the brink and have been at my wits end with all of this. Not only is my experience absolutely horrendous but the authorities and the people who I thought were here to help me are letting me down also. This is almost as dispiriting as the events that have occurred. I am devastated at the complete lack of support and feel that everyone was extremely helpful and supportive until we signed up. Now we are in the dark and have been for a long time. I’m devastated and completely broken. I don’t think people realise just what their service means to people and the impact (whether it’s good or bad) this can have on their lives. I’m even sorry that I’ve had to write this review to be honest. Ps I gave two stars as the lady that did my Mothers Power of Attorney was lovely and so helpful. Everything that a solicitor should be in my opinion.
Excellent friendly and professional solicitors.
