Commercial Contract Litigation - Eatom Smith Law Firm, Huddersfield, UK

I have been during business with this excellent firm for over 10 years. It was the first time I was assigned to Adeeba who I engaged to take on breach of contract action. This action had a particular complication as it involved jurisdictional issues, but if didn't phase Adeeba as she was adept at every turn. Her advice was always sound on point and timely which eventually led to an excellent outcome for me. I recommend the Eaton Smith firm and if you are looking for one with excellent experience in litigation, then I would gladly recommend Adeeba Bashir, she is a great asset to her company and to the profession. Five (5) stars.

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

I've used this law firm for a while. Everyone I've spoken to is always friendly and supportive. They've backed my corner well. However, a lot of the time, I felt I was ringing to chase things up and not get any replies. When I did get a reply, I was repeating myself quite a bit, which was frustrating as it cost money. Emails that were meant to be sent sometimes weren't, so I had to chase to make sure this was done as I couldn't settle and know it would be done and in most cases it wasn't. I know it's a slow process, but these things make it slower. The pricing is around £250 an hour plus any extras and excluding VAT. The money soon racks up. They do send you estimates, so you're aware of costs.

Eaton Smith LLP

Hi Ajade, Thank you for your feedback, but we’re sorry to hear it wasn't an amazing experience. Our team is constantly striving to improve, so we'd love to know what we could do differently the next time. Please reach out to us and we'll be more than happy to help. Thank you for your time!

Highly recommend!

I cannot thank Lindsay and Zahra enough for the support they provided throughout. From the very beginning, Lindsay took the time to prepare me thoroughly for the court process, answering my questions, explaining everything clearly, and helping me feel as confident and reassured as possible during what was a very stressful time. On the day of the hearing, Zahra represented me with professionalism, compassion, and confidence. She took the time to listen to me, understood my concerns, and made sure I felt supported throughout the proceedings. I was treated with kindness, respect, and understanding every step of the way. Their dedication and support made a significant difference to my experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of family law representation.

Thank you

Abby, you took your time to explain complex legal jargon in plain English, return emails or calls promptly and show genuine empathy during personal matters like when the person showed their vulnerabilities around the domestic abuse. (The person has asked me to say to you) You successful resolved something that was going on in my life for a longtime. Thank you, Abby, for leaving me feeling relieved, valued and well-supported through the process.

Eaton Smith experience

Eaton Smiths were excellent from start to finish. Hayatun Barker was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly efficient throughout the purchase of our new-build home. She kept us updated, responded quickly to our questions, and completed everything in just four weeks, which was amazing. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Hayatun and Eaton Smiths. Thank you!

James Johnston dealt with my personal injury claim.
