We dealt with Sarah Price regarding the sale of a commercial property. Sarah was excellent and we were delighted with every aspect of the service provided. Sarah is very approachable and efficient, and kept us well informed throughout the process. We had complete trust in Sarah from start to finish and would highly recommend her as she provided a first class professional service. Would have no hesitation in using Darwin Gray for any future commercial work.

Leila Archer

Tagged solicitor Leila Archer

We appointed Leila as our solicitor for a sale and purchase transaction - she was fantastic. All the way through the process she communicated with us clearly and simply and was able to explain and advise on the risks assuredly. We also did not have to chase - she fully understood the timescales and worked hard to keep the transactions going at pace. In the end we had to exchange and complete quickly due to the circumstances of the purchase (outside of our control) and Leila managed it through to conclusive fluently with minimum fuss. We can't thank her enough! Would definitely recommend.

Niall Byrne

Tagged solicitor Niall Byrne

Michelle and her team in the conveyancing department, as well as Niall, from corporate and commercial, are simply outstanding. I would highly recommend them: professional, meticulous, and genuinely committed to seeing your case through to completion. I had a particularly tricky set of sales involving a complex legal issue, and the entire team at Hawley and Rodgers was brilliant. They went to bat on my behalf, ensuring my interests were fully represented at every stage. Thanks to their efforts and dedication, the case was successfully resolved—something that simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
