    Consistently goes above and beyond

    Have now had the benefit of Laura's support on a number of transactions and she consistently goes above and beyond to take the burden of the process away from you and to make up for the slack of other parties involved in the process. Almost as sure as any potential problem arises, Laura has either come up with a solution or has the alternatives available to provide you with a sensible option not losing sight of the objective to get the deal done effectively. All the time keeping you adequately appraised of progress. Could not recommend highly enough.

    Complex Conveyancing at a Distance

    We were selling the family home inherited from our parents, who had bought it in the 1950s. Numerous issues arose, including a long-standing uncompleted party-wall award. At all times, Samantha Houlden from HCR was on top of the detail and took a shrewd, practical approach, responding quickly. Neither a late switch in purchasers nor the fact that the property was a considerable distance away held back the eventual smooth completion of the sale. Prompt, professional advice removed the anxiety that can easily surround such a major transaction.

    Turns out these guys are adjoined / trading partners with QDR solicitors..check their reviews and enough said. It turns out then that there is a connection as the name of this firm is on communications from QDR. QDR have threatened my legal partner over an alleged unpaid fuel bill, to which I have not been given the slightest chance to prove it was paid and well before QDR sent threat letters to my SO. Therefore I can only make a fuss online until someone owns up to this mistake at either Wright Hassal LLP or QDR and in short a lot quicker than the time stated as its tantamount to bullying / harassment and threatening behaviour which as far as I know is a crime in and of itself.

    Hi Christian Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you/your partner have experienced in regards to this matter. Please be assured that QDR take customer dissatisfaction very seriously, and as such your comments have been raised with the relevant team. Please can we also take this opportunity to give you QDR’s Customer Assurance email address - they deal with any customer disputes or complaints should you wish to discuss things with them further: customerassurance@qdrsolicitors.com Many thanks The Wright Hassall Team

    I recently had the pleasure of working with HCR Law on the sale of a business in London, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Both the Corporate and Real Estate teams collaborated seamlessly, navigating the complexities of the transaction with speed and efficiency — despite delays from the other side. In particular, Parmjit Bhogal provided exceptional service and is hands down one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the deal done ahead of schedule made all the difference. I highly recommend HCR Law for any business transaction.

    A representative from HCR Legal LLP responded to this review

    We're delighted to hear that Parmjit and the Corporate and Real Estate teams were able to assist you with the sale of a business, Ozan. We will be sure to pass on your positive feedback regarding their efficiency and dedication. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review and we look forward to working with you on any future transactions.

      Fantastic support in the sale of London Flat

      Laura has been brilliant throughout the sale of my leasehold flat in London. She guided us through the complexities of the leasehold transfer process and the requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Building Safety Act. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Laura and look forward to working with her again in the future.

      Laura is incredible.

      Laura was recommended to us as first time buyers and we don’t know what we would have done without her. We felt at ease the entire process, always felt like we could jump on a call and felt like we learnt a lot from the experience. We would recommend Laura to anyone and everyone - she is incredible and just an absolute delight to work with. We will miss our frequent chats with Laura - that is how you know you found the right lawyer!

      The team at Wright Hassall have been incredibly helpful each time we have had to go through the process of renewing our UK Visa. Daniaal recently helped us through the ILR application process and he made everything incredibly seamless, providing us with the right level of support and professionalism throughout the journey.

      I had an excellent experience with Matt Gillett at HCR Law. From the outset, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand the issues I was facing. He provided calm, clear, and practical advice that helped me better understand a complex workplace legal matter. What stood out most was the effort Matt made to ensure I fully understood my options and the legal position. He was patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me. He went above and beyond what I expected, and far more than any other firm I contacted regarding my issue. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend Matt Gillett to anyone seeking knowledgeable, approachable, and client-focused legal advice.
