I have dealt with Tia McAleese and only have positive things to say. She has incredibly knowledgeable and clear with her advice, whilst also being fast and efficient with the matter at hand.

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.
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.
Brilliant service leading to a great result Gareth Stevens was easy to deal with and managed to get me a very large payout
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
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.
Harriet Howes is amazing. She worked quickly, and was so supportive, kind and compassionate throughout. I would highly recommend!

May I very highly recommend Joanna Allen. After years of using many other solicitors Joanna stands out above all the rest. The work load she has taken on for me in the last 18 months whilst I build my property portfolio is incredible. Joanna always answer my emails extremely promptly and deals with all my deadlines well within the time limit. Her expertise, work ethic, communication, help and guidance is always second to none. As I continue to build my portfolio Joanna will always by my first choice of solicitor. I can’t speak highly enough of Joanna, she is an absolute credit to Leathes Prior.

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.

All went well. Initial contact forms were a bit laborious but with some assistance they were completed ok.

I have been involved in working with two different departments at Leathes Prior, and both have exceeded my expectations. They go above and beyond to assist with any issues, no query is too small or insignificant.
After a bit of a shakey start ( not Leathes Priors making), Stephen Wilson and his team came to the fore and their attention to detail and communication with us was exemplary. The attention to detail was outstanding and we were very pleased that he and his team delivered on the timescales to exchange and eventually completion. We would recommend and indeed would use them again.
Leathes Prior helped us move into our new holiday home and they were fantastic. Anna and Izabela were incredibly responsive, very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and made the whole process much easier than it normally is.
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.
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.
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.
