What our clients say

Matthew Holland

Hollands Country Clothing Limited

Butcher & Barlow LLP has the depth and strength within to deal with all legal issues most individuals/enterprises would require. Having encountered several other law practices over time, Butcher & Barlow have proven to be the most impressive, reasonable, and reassuring of them all. I can enthusiastically say that I would recommend Butcher & Barlow to any individual or enterprise needing specialist legal assistance with almost any legal matter. Whether that may be a historical ‘pepercorn’ rent agreement, a multi-million-pound property transaction, or a change of name declaration.

Katie Burns

Amazing service! Efficient, fast, great communication. I couldn’t recommend this company enough. Thank you so much!

Helen Rogers

Having completed the conveyancing work on the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new one this year I cant recommend Philip Thompson and his team at Butcher and Barlow highly enough. At every stage of both processes they have been extremely helpful and supportive throughout.

Carly Dean

We used Butcher & Barlow for the sale of our house and purchase of our new property. The communication was great and everything went smoothly with the process. Would definitely recommend.

Very pleased with the efficiency of the service I have received especially that it was with a very short notice. The communications with Nick Ball from start to the completion, was just perfect! Thank you for making life simple for me!

Geoff Griffiths

My wife and I recently had our wills drawn up by the above company. The process was smooth and efficient and the cost reasonable. I would happily use this company again.
