They guided me through a constructive dismissal case with skill and clarity, securing a settlement that felt fair and balanced. What stood out most was their approachability and accessibility—I always felt I could ask questions and be heard. They were empathetic and very human throughout, even at times when I was not at my best. Their professionalism, combined with genuine care, made a very difficult process far more manageable

I had a really positive experience with Leathes Prior Solicitors. From the very beginning, they were professional, efficient and maintained excellent, timely communication. Tia McAleese handled my case with sensitivity and clarity, taking the time to walk me through the process going above and beyond to ensure the matter was resolved quickly.
Thank you for sharing your experience working with Tia, we really appreciate the feedback. Best wishes, LP
I found myself in a hopeless employment predicament, which several law firms weren't prepared to offer help and advice. Leathes Prior took on my case with confidence and took all the preasure off my shoulders. It's unfair to name specific individuals as Leathes Prior worked as a team, from the Company Partner through to the assistants. I thank you all for the efforts and results you achieved. Wayne.

When I needed expert legal advice and help with an employment issue, Dan and Harriet of Leathes Prior helped me with understanding, kindness and professionalism, dealing with and resolving the matter. I thank them with all sincerity for their excellent work. Stephen Button
Hello Julie and Stephen Thank you for your kind review for Dan and Harriet, we are so pleased they were able to assist you with this matter. Best wishes LP
Found the service provided supporting and helpful from the very first contact. My solicitor, Harriet Howes, was amazing in supporting me with my case and took control of what needed to be done, but kept constant communication going between us so I understood what was happening at all times. Very thankful for the incredible service she provided me. Highly recommended when you need quality legal advice.
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review for Harriet, it is really appreciated. Best wishes, LP
Harriet Howes is amazing. She worked quickly, and was so supportive, kind and compassionate throughout. I would highly recommend!
Dear Mrs Hawkins, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Harriet! It is much appreciated. Best wishes, LP

Matthew provided exemplary advice with regard to my potential driving ban. Whilst recognising that 12 points is 12 points he presented the extenuating circumstances appropriately and in a manner that was likely to be heard by the court. I could not recommend him more highly.
Hello Richard Thank you so much for this review for Matthew, we are pleased he was able to support you and provide exemplary advice. Best wishes LP

I'd like to thank Rachael Hughes and her secretary, Angela Chalmers, for the way they handled the recent sales of my two properties. I was very impressed with their professionalism. Sometimes the path was not as smooth as it could have been, for reasons out of their control, but, nonetheless, everything was conducted and concluded in a very professional manner, and I hope to use their services again in the near future.
Hello Diane Thank you for your lovely review for Rachael and Angela, we are so pleased they were able to assist you for both sales of your properties. It is great to hear you will be using us again! Best wishes LP
Leathes Prior acted for us on the sale of our company and were fantastic throughout. Alex Saunders and his team made a stressful process so much easier, with clear communication and invaluable advice. Thank you.
Hello Daniel Thank you so much for your lovely review for Alex. We are so pleased Alex and the team were able to provide invaluable advice and assist you throughout. Best wishes LP
Extremely disappointing experience. We instructed Leathes Prior in connection with a significant commercial lease and nursery development. We subsequently found ourselves exposed to substantial costs associated with the condition of the property. To be clear, my criticism is not that a solicitor should have discovered structural defects. My concern is that we entered into a full repairing lease without a Schedule of Condition and I do not believe the potentially significant financial consequences of taking on responsibility for pre-existing disrepair were explained to us clearly enough before we committed. I raised these concerns formally with the firm and received their final complaint response rejecting the complaint. Having reviewed that response and the underlying correspondence, I remain deeply dissatisfied. For a transaction involving a substantial investment and a long-term lease, I expected advice that clearly translated the legal wording into the commercial and financial risks we were actually assuming. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I could not recommend Leathes Prior for this type of transaction.
Dear Umer We're so sorry to hear this. We do understand that you're in contact with our Client Relations Team regarding your concerns. Best wishes LP
Emily and Trish were fantastic when acting on behalf of one of of my sellers. It is always a pleasure to work alongside responsive and sensible solicitors. Leathers Prior helped to get this transaction to a successful conclusion despite the inefficiency of the buyers solicitor. Thank you and I will be recommending.
