Excellent, timely service that helped my company navigate games contracts.

Sam was able to take on ALJO on as a client with very short notice which I appreciated, he was very knowledgeable in parsing through games publisher contracts in a high pressure environment and helped me navigate negotiations in a manner of great benefit to the company. Would thoroughly recommend his service and that of Eaton Smith. As an additional note, Chris has been a brilliant presence of support and insight over the the last decade as part of the firm's active engagement and outreach with the Yorkshire games industry.

Used these guys recently for a civil property dispute, I agree with pr

Sadly I do agree with a number of the other bad reviews for this company. Used these guys recently for a civil property dispute, I agree with previous comments saying "charged like a raging bull"! Attended court on one of the occasions only for the entire day to be unrequired (but still billable to the client e.g me) Ramped up eye watering amounts of bills for a simple case, solicitors pushed for mediation with a party that clearly did not intend on mediating, putting me on the back foot .Mediation was wildly expensive and not the route I wanted as my proposal was for us to propose a stay on the proceedings to the judge, due to preferred alternative routes being available than court. Nobody seemed to support the alternative (cheaper and less risky) routes. Ultimately agreeing and pushing to mediate with an opposing party not willing to was just forcing yourself into giving in, which the solicitors must know from so much experience. Backed into a corner on a strong case, when the other side refused to settle, my own legal advice was to give up even on a strong case or risk bankruptcy levels of costs (£80-120K+ was quoted). If this was the best advice I wish I had received it at the outset before incurring £20K+ legal fees to get nowhere. The whole legal system is rigged to extract as much money as possible from the clients in the dispute

Acquisition went perfectly

Deborah and her team provided fantastic support on a company acquisition for me. Pulling together a multi-disciplinary team to advise and carry out the transaction effectively with just the right balance of hand-holding, legal advice, and commercial pragmatism. A few sensitive issues arose that were dealt with sympathetically whilst ensuring my risk was mitigated sufficiently. The transaction completed on the day I asked for so I couldn't be happier.

Family Court Orders

I highly recommend Eaton Smith for family court matters. Throughout my case, the solicitors maintained regular contact with me and kept me fully informed at every stage of the process. They clearly explained what would happen next, which helped ease a very stressful situation. Lindsay was especially supportive and professional throughout. Due to the domestic violence-related issues involved in my case, she would often contact me outside of normal office hours when necessary, which I truly appreciated. Lindsay listened attentively, gave honest and professional advice, and always made me feel valued and heard. Thanks to their support, I successfully obtained a Child Arrangements Order – Live With and a Prohibited Steps Order. I am also continuing to work with Eaton Smith regarding my civil divorce and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing family law support.

Tenant dispute and neighbour blocking the right of way out of garden.

I found Abeeba very professional and very helpful in achieving the successful out come of The Tenant giving notice instead of me having to take her to court and making the neighbour remove the fence that blocked the right of way. She also was successful in getting the E/H to close the case they opened about petty complaints that when diagnosed were not justified, as one item they were asking me to commit a criminal damage of the neighbours property.

James Johnston dealt with my personal injury claim. I shall miss his emails - I thoroughly enjoyed how he presented me with options - allowing me to make choices that were right for me as he worked through my claim following my accident. He was also very efficient and responsive to any emails I sent. I would be very happy to recommend to anyone dealing with their personal injury claim
