Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers planning how a family-owned business is passed on after death, balancing business continuity with inheritance wishes. A solicitor helps draft wills that protect the business, set up shares or interests in a trust, and arrange buy-sell provisions so surviving family members and owners are treated fairly. They advise on tax-efficient strategies, appoint appropriate executors and trustees, and prepare documents that keep the business running smoothly for the next generation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The solicitor will help protect ongoing control of the business and the interests of family members. They ensure that the will and any associated trusts secure the goodwill, shares, and assets of the business, prevent disputes, and provide clear succession steps that avoid delays or conflicting claims. Their oversight includes safeguarding executors’ and trustees’ duties, and addressing potential tax consequences.

We did not know any solicitors in Chelmsford so feel fortunate to have found Leonard Gray at a difficult time for us. They dealt both with the sale of a house and probate in a sensitive and friendly manner. The solicitors and estate agents were helpful , efficient, gave good advice and were promptly responsive to queries . We valued their service highly. Steve Gwenlan

Emily Spencer

Tagged solicitor Emily Spencer

I dealt with Emily at Winston Solicitors. She helped sort out a deed of variation to amend my mothers Will so that her shares in the business passed on to a Trust which helped benefit my four children. She was very effecient, quick to reply and overall a 10 out of 10 experience. I have dealth with many solicitors in the past but Winston are by far the best company I have dealt over the years...they gave a fixed price and were very helpful/professional. Would recommend to anyone!

Ali has been fantastic. We previously went to another company who prepared our Wills and Powers of Attorney. The documents were incorrect and the service was awful. We were recommended Slater Heelis and in particular Ali. Ali gave us detailed advice and prepared new documents. The communication was great and everything was completed quickly. Thank you, Ali.

Umar Khan FCCA

Tagged solicitor Umar Khan FCCA

My family had to do a will on behalf of my dad who was in hospital and needed help quite rapidly. We worked with Umar Khan to get some legal work done and it was such a pleasant experience and Umar was such a kind and amazing person throughout with lots of knowledge. He seemed like a humble lawyer and really helped my dad feel at ease but also helped my mum and me understand what we needed to do and explained each aspect carefully and was patient with us. Umar helped us from visiting my dad in the hospital, to many phone calls with myself to even coming out of the office to sort information out that met my dad's need's. It was a really amazing experience and I hope Farani Taylor help develop Umar as he is a big asset to the company and one of the nicest lawyers I have ever dealt with.

Charles Smalley

Tagged solicitor Charles Smalley

A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.

Jasmin Marshall

Tagged solicitor Jasmin Marshall

We have recently used the Mapperley branch to sort out Grant of Probate and will also be using them for conveyancing. Jasmin Marshall who dealt with the probate was very professional but lovely at the same time. She put us at ease at what was a difficult time for us, and made the whole process much less painful. From start to finish it only took 3 weeks for probate to be granted and during that time we were kept fully informed. I can’t thank Jasmin and the team enough for what they did.

After the decision to make a will- thank goodness we went to Howells & saw Melodie. She was so lovely, efficient, professional and very mindful while dealing with a very personal delicate subject. Very happy with the easy way the wills were done & I will highly recommend this firm and the way Melodie put us at ease and answered lots of questions putting us at ease. Thank you again for a wonderful service with the added bonus of a house visit.

Andrew Milburn

Tagged solicitor Andrew Milburn

I have been working with Andrew at Livi to prepare my Will, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He took the time to understand my situation — which is far from straightforward, involving business interests and property in multiple countries — and guided me through every aspect with patience and expertise. Andrew made what can be a daunting process feel straightforward and reassuring. His knowledge is excellent, and he is always responsive and approachable. I felt completely confident that my wishes were being documented properly and that nothing was being overlooked. If you need Will planning — particularly anything involving complex estates — I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew and the team at Livi.
