We have used Churchgate for both financial planning and legal matters, and we were extremely pleased with their services. Matt, Joanne and Dominic provided excellent advice in complex matters which were explained very clearly and made us confident in their recommendations. The entire process was conducted in a very friendly and professional manner. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them & would like to take this opportunity to thanks them all.

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.
