Butcher & Barlow stand out as giving you the full service you should expect from a multi-disciplined practice. They are Solicitors that give value rather than take value.

The team at Butcher & Barlow are a perfect example of synergy. The communication and professionalism of its employees are outstanding. Right down from the legal team through to the reception team, who are as equally impressive. They are friendly and warm but remain professional and straight to the point – translating the intricate details of a complex legal system into a language I can easily understand. Their legal knowledge, speed at which they work, meticulous attention to detail, communication between the departments and ability to think outside of the box are truly impressive, so I feel confident that all aspects of my business are totally safe in their hands. So far, I have employed the services of their phenomenally tough and brilliant Dispute Resolution Department, the extremely detailed and fast Commercial Property Department, and also their Wills, Contracts and HR departments who leave no stone unturned, protecting my future and mitigating any unforeseen events. Somehow, they have the ability to be succinct, yet provide a vast amount of pertinent information without waffling. They have always provided regular email updates which sum up the situation, reiterate what has been said, and then clearly state 'the next steps or options to choose from.' Brilliant. Amazingly, there has never been a spelling mistake or error in all the vast communication we’ve had over the past few years. If ever they propose any work, they always confirm the cost and ensure that I am happy to proceed first. I will never, ever go to any other solicitors’ firm - I have used many other solicitors throughout my life and none even come close to the ability, legal knowledge and meticulous attention to detail that Butcher and Barlow offer. Their professionalism is second to none. When I first established my business, I will never forget my Bank Manager advising that I ‘invest’ in good accountants or solicitors since they are “worth their weight in gold and ultimately save you money in the long run.” He was dead right.

Butcher & Barlow LLP provided our company with excellent transparency on both the job at hand and timescale. Attention to details was second to none from all parties involved. During COVID, we had the pleasure of choice to engage in various forms of meetings remotely or in person when available. This is a firm we can highly recommend and will be a returning client.

Seema McWilliam is extremely capable, conscientious and diligent. Seema has excellent communication skills and always responds promptly. She goes above and beyond to ensure full client satisfaction and excellent outcomes.

Introduced through a wealth manager who had used the Firm previously for similar matters. Personally, I feel their strength is being able to navigate the complex area of inheritance planning for individuals in a family business structure. They were happy to attend meetings with other persons involved in tax and inheritance planning such as accountants and wealth management.

I feel that Butcher & Barlow LLP work as a very strong and cohesive team. My experience is that the team has specialist Partners in various areas who work together to provide the best quality service they can to their clients.

Mike Bracegirdle and the team have all done work for me, which I have been very satisfied with. Mike Bracegirdle has been expertly involved in setting up Deeds of Trust, Deeds of Variation and Partnership Agreements.

Mike Bracegirdle and his team all seem to have a good understanding of agricultural matters and are very good at understanding a farm map and are easy to work with.

Since dealing with Butcher & Barlow LLP I have found the firm very helpful with all my concerns. Giving me the right advice, time to think about my decisions and alternatives to my situation. On the whole, I’m very pleased with everything they’ve done for me. Always punctual with emails & correspondence and returning phone calls.

The utter professionalism of every aspect of the Firm and its employees is outstanding. From the legal team down to the reception team. The Commercial litigation department are superb and pulled out all the stops for me.
