We have now used Higgs for a number of our transactions and they have been impressive in terms of the quality of the advice, timeliness of delivery, proactive approach to issues and value for money. Jamie Partington in particular has been an excellent support and I trust his advice.

On our bank's recommendation, we worked with Joel & Elliot on our recent transaction. It all went very smoothly and good advice given on how to deal with a specific issue that resolved risk to us. Even whilst on holiday Joel was fully responsive alongside Elliot.

We had a fantastic experience working with Richard Griffiths and Damian Beard during our recent M&A deal. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also down-to-earth and easy to work with. Damian made a real difference—Damian ensured that the deal that took place was as efficient as possible. Higgs LLP kept us informed, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process feel much less daunting. Thanks to their support, the deal went through smoothly and we felt confident every step of the way. Highly recommend them if you're navigating a merger or acquisition.

Feedback

From the initial meeting with Laura the whole process has been nothing short of fantastic. In a hugely stressful time for myself and family Laura guided us and supported us through the legal case for compensation. Regular updates and advice were given, knowing that Laura was always a phone call or email away to help, nothing to small or too big to help us out. I will forever be grateful to Laura and Higgs for everything they have done, and would recommend to anyone in the future!

Strong team, good advice and support

Jamie and Richard were very supportive and detailed in the sale of our company. They went above and beyond helping advise us around the legal elements and where we needed to work with other professionals in our network. We had some unexpected elements in the deal, which were dealt with professionally.

Compensation following an accident at work.

Throughout the experience, I found that Claire was friendly and professional at all times. She kept us up to date and well informed. She was on hand to answer any questions we had; with replies that were always honest and professional. She guided us well throughout the whole process, providing excellent support and advice. Alongside this, she also seeked professional help to aid my recovery, whilst also considering what my future may look like. I felt my best interests were always at the forefront of everything Claire did for my case.

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.

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.
