I cannot thank Simon Stanfield enough for the support, guidance, and professionalism he showed throughout my case. From our very first conversation, he made me feel reassured and confident that I was in capable hands. What stood out most was not only his legal expertise but also his genuine care and understanding during a difficult and stressful time. Simon was always approachable, patient, and willing to take the time to explain everything clearly. He kept me informed throughout the process, responded promptly to any concerns, and made what was an overwhelming experience easier to manage. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome never went unnoticed. I am truly grateful for all of his hard work and support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled and professional but also compassionate and genuinely invested in helping his clients.

Outstanding support and a result against all odds

I can’t recommend Suky highly enough. With the support of Kate, they both helped me win a case that truly felt like it was against all odds. From the start, they were professional, supportive, and completely honest about my situation, giving realistic advice at every stage. Their communication was excellent; clear, timely, and easy to understand which made a stressful process much more manageable. They showed me all of the qualities you want in great solicitors: attention to detail, strong knowledge, integrity, patience, and genuine care for me as their client. I always felt listened to and well represented. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal support.

Review Victoria Boucher

I contacted Victoria because I was expecting my first child and wanted to secure our futures. From the outset, Victoria was outstanding. She possessed expert knowledge and technical ability and was able to deliver it to me in a thoughtful and professional manner. I couldn’t be happier with Victoria and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my own family and friends. Thank you. Mr Martin

Spoke to Jenny Petlow in regards to my sons medical condition he is currently in and if there firm could help. They could not take rhe case on due to my sons current circumstances, however Jenny has advised me the best possible way to help my son in order to get his medical condition resolved. Even thou my case could not be taken on she had taken the time out and was very understanding. I will definitely be using this firm for future in cases that they may be able to help me with even thou they couldn't take on my case on but the service I had for Jenny was brilliant, it tells me if I did have a case she would do her ultimate best! Thank you Jenny, and just to let you know my son has had his surgery now. Many thanks Jahangir

(Translated by Google) Hello! So far we are very satisfied with the work done by attorney Steve and Laura Hopkins, who is also in the process. We are taking safe and consultative steps, even though it is a long-term procedure - but we are always consulted and they are doing an enormous job for our family. We thank them and recommend them with confidence.

Founders first MBO.

This was our first MBO, and it was a steep learning curve. Higgs helped guide us through the legal side of the process and were available when we needed clarity or reassurance. They produced strong documentation and helped us protect our position as founders. We found the whole team answered all our questions in a way we could understand, turned documentation around quickly and kept us upto date with where we were in the process.

Invaluable Help with Corporate Transaction

I worked with Jamie Partington and Richard Freeman at Higgs as the Buyer in an MBO transaction, and I couldn't have asked for better advisers throughout the process. This was a complex transaction involving a US seller, extensive SPA negotiations, transitional licensing arrangements, regulatory considerations and a number of moving parts that evolved right up to completion. Jamie and Richard were consistently responsive, pragmatic and commercially focused, helping us navigate challenges without ever losing sight of the bigger picture. What stood out most was their ability to balance technical legal advice with practical business judgement. They took the time to understand the commercial objectives behind the deal and were always willing to discuss options, pressure-test positions and find workable solutions. Their guidance was instrumental in helping us secure a fair outcome while keeping momentum in the transaction. The quality of their work was excellent throughout, from drafting and negotiation through to completion. Equally importantly, they were approachable, calm under pressure and a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie, Richard and the wider Higgs team to anyone undertaking an acquisition, investment or corporate transaction.

I met Simrit whilst recovering from a Road traffic accident which wasn’t my fault . From the outset Simrit showed empathy concern & kindness she explained what the process was timescales and expectations. She had remained in constant communication over the last two years given myself and my wife tremendous support & guidance as we navigated both this civil & criminal case. I would highly recommend Simrit and Higgs solicitors whilst the process takes time and is complex you are in safe hands with Simrit . Simrit you have been a joy to work with and I thank you for all the support late night calls & emails you are simply amazing thank you

Over the course of 5 years, we appointed Higgs & Sons to act as a professional deputy. Unfortunately, our experience was consistently marked by poor communication, significant delays, and a lack of professionalism. Despite the firm charging approximately £12,000–£15,000 per year for what were simple administrative duties, timely responses to calls or emails were rare. Although Nicholas Moxon was named as the appointed deputy, we did not receive a single email or telephone call from him during the entire period. All communication was instead routed through Claire Whittall and Katie Chance, both of whom were frequently unresponsive and, at times, discourteous. On one occasion, after receiving no replies, I drove nearly two hours to the firm’s office, only to be handed documents by a receptionist while the relevant staff members declined to meet. The deputyship accounts were also significantly behind schedule—approximately two years overdue. Given the level of fees being charged, it is essential that these accounts are scrutinised by the Senior Courts Costs Office to ensure they are legitimate and proportionate. Following my mother’s passing, we expected a degree of sensitivity and efficiency. Instead, even simple enquiries regarding arrangements for a modest funeral required repeated follow ups. The funeral directors were not paid promptly, and we were again left to chase for updates. Despite the minimal communication during this period—amounting to only a few emails—Higgs & Sons sought to charge £3,389.40 for “extensive involvement.” In correspondence, Katie Chance stated: “Following your mother’s death there was extensive involvement to assist the executors in understanding the current position and to try and progress matters. The work completed from the date of death to date currently stands at £3,389.40… However, given the value of the estate, I am happy to agree to a 10% reduction of these fees as a gesture of goodwill.
