    What our clients say about Andrew

    We have used Butcher & Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space and Jonathan Aldersley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy.

    We had an outstanding experience working with Andy, Lewis and Emelia, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. Andy and his team, Lewis and Emelia, acted for us on a highly complex £6m transaction, and their professionalism, attention to detail and calm approach made an enormous difference throughout the process. Highly recommended!!

    I’ve worked with Andy and his firm on several matters over the past three years including acquisitions, new leases, assignments, and renewals. Andy is exceptional at what he does. His depth of knowledge and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. Andy consistently goes above and beyond, fighting your corner and offering clear, practical guidance every step of the way. He’s an excellent communicator who keeps me fully updated which gives me complete peace of mind. Andy and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, proactive, and reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding legal support and I’ll continue using Andy for all my future legal work without question.

    We recently used Andy MacKenzie and his assistant Courtney to complete a sale of a commercial property for us. From instruction to completion took less than 3 weeks! They were professional and efficient throughout and we will definitely use their services again. Can highly recommend!

    I highly recommend Andy McKenzie as he has just helped resolve a case with our commercial landlord. He was friendly, professional and really quick to respond to us. We are delighted with the outcome and will not hesitate to use this firm of solicitors again in the future due to the help and advice we have received.

    After an accident in work I contacted Butcher & Barlow for advice. An appointment was arranged to speak to Andy Mackenzie one of their solicitors. Andy explained the procedure which made me feel comfortable & confident he would do his very best to get me the best outcome. My case lasted 4 years. During this period Andy & his team kept me well informed. Always available & offering me the best advice during this time building the case against the defendant. I was sent to all the relevant specialist & represented by a top barrister in court. I won my case. I feel this was due to all the hard work Andy had put into my case. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Butcher & Barlow as they provided an excellent service. In the future if I needed any legal advice. The only solicitors I would use would be Butcher & Barlow
