Landlord Dispute.

I have been kept fully informed with all steps to resolve my dispute. Different options have been laid out for me to consider at all stages. Communication has been excellent and my opinions and wishes have been taken into account when decisions have been required. Lauren has been excellent and I have felt confident in the advice given at all times during the process.

Conveyancing

Vikki helped us through what turned out to be a very difficult move. We were on a tight timeframe as we were selling in England and buying in Scotland. Vikki handled the liaison with our Scottish solicitor (acting for us in our purchase there) brilliantly. She also worked patiently and effectively with our buyer's chosen firm, which was quite a challenge. A complex Land Registry issue arose late on in the sale of our buyer's property. Vikki was able to advise us swiftly and knowledgeably. This matter took a while for other parties to sort out but Vikki kept us updated throughout and calmly helped us to keep the chain intact. She's professional, experienced and friendly and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Brilliant.

I asked for their help submitting papers to Land Registry and was required to pay £2400 up front. They then said they didn’t think I would be successful and refused to submit the papers or give me my money back.

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.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Bob. We're committed to providing high-quality legal advice and an excellent client experience, and we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail.
