Tom made it super clear

"Tom spoke clearly and in simple terms which was massively appreciated as I barely understood the legal jargon. He was human and personable and made me feel at ease discussing my situation. I would recommend Tom and Ashton‘s legal on this basis."

Settlement Agreement

I was placed in the difficult position of receiving a Settlement Agreement from my employer that required an urgent turnaround. As this was entirely new to me, I approached the firm seeking guidance. From the outset, their team was welcoming and responsive, promptly assigning a lawyer with clear expertise in this area. They took the time to understand my circumstances and priorities, ensuring that my objectives were reflected in the negotiation process. Through their advice and representation, the outcome was significantly improved: the settlement payment was increased, and several clauses were amended to better support my future needs. I greatly valued their professionalism, efficiency, and client-focused approach, and would not hesitate to recommend their services to others facing similar challenges.

Contract dispute

The dispute resolution team were highly knowledgeable about contract law, practical and strategic. This was a complicated case and they took the time to understand the situation, the key issues and risks. I was kept fully informed and at every stage their advise was clear, balanced and easy to follow. Most importantly they helped me achieve a resolution that protected my interests without unnecessary escalation or cost.

Company dispute

I have worked with many legal firms, but I was hugely impressed with Ashtons. They understood the situation quickly and provided clear, strategic advice that helped resolve the matter in our favour. Their support did not stop there. They were highly efficient in drafting all the necessary legal documentation, ensuring everything was properly handled and brought to a clear conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons.

Professional but human

This is about Abby as opposed to Ashtons. During my sale my life changed quite drastically not only changing things for me but for the purchase and sale of houses. Abbey was so supportive and understanding. Abbey remained professional but also was really human and supported me talking to others involved and when she wasn't in making sure there was someone else to answer my queries. Abbey was also honest with me and explained exactly what was going on. I will definitely be going to Abbey when I am ready to move again.

Dispute Resolution

Thank you Michael

I came to Ashtons with a complex partnership dispute, and Michael Frape made all the difference. He is calm, clear and relentless, and he kept me steady through the stressful stretches by always explaining the reasoning behind his advice. He held firm on the points that counted, never overcomplicated things, and was genuinely sensitive to how much was riding on this for me and my family. He cared about the outcome in a real way. The rest of my dealings with the firm were a touch uneven, but Michael was first rate throughout, and he is the reason I would send anyone facing something similar his way. With heartfelt thanks.

I found the overall process to be very smooth and straightforward. The explanations provided were clear and easy to follow, and the initial quote remained in line with the final costs. I particularly appreciated the transparency regarding each step and the associated fees from the beginning.
