RUTH ROUND

We have been dealing with Ruth for the last 12 months and she has kept us informed of every aspect of my late cousins will and estate whether it was by post or personal phone calls.He has been so professional in explaining everything in detail thus taking a lot of pressure off ourselves. We will miss her immensely but would not hesitate to use her again and recommend any one to use her services.

Administration and handling of the late Barbara Stokes Estate

It was quite a large estate having many different types of investments including a property. To me it seemed to be quite a daunting proposition but on meeting Ruth back in 2023, I found her very professional but also approachable. All questions I asked were answered promptly and efficiently which gave me confidence that everything was being dealt with correctly. Overall as co executor of the estate I can happily say that Ruth’s handling of what was quite a large and messy (to me) estate took a lot of pressure off the whole process. As my family has had dealing with Higgs for many many years I can honestly say I ham happy with your standard of service and would recommend anyone to use your company.

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.

Will start by saying that I received excellent service from the business conveyancing department. The wills and probate team however is a completely different story. I am writing this review to urge anyone considering using this company for their wills to reconsider. My father instructed them as trustees in the event he passed away, in good faith, and he would turn in his grave if he knew what I have been put through by this company. There is too much to even write in here but he passed nearly 4 years ago, and matters are still not resolved. They ignore you, promise responses/call backs and fail to deliver. They've made numerous mistakes and forgotten to give information meaning I've been pressured to make decisions with no time to consider due to deadlines. This is from the director of this department, who I am dealing with as the original solicitor was awful too. I know this may sound like I'm just some nightmare customer but I assure you this isn't the case. Other professionals (accountant etc) have been astounded by the incompetency and downright shoddy service by what is supposed to be a well respected company. I honestly would hate anyone's family to go through this, especially at such an already difficult time. Please at least consider other options because no one wants to think of their loved ones being put through so much stress and anxiety. I leave 2 stars only because the commercial conveyancing department were excellent. The wills and probate team deserve 0 stars based on the "service " I've receieved

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
