Asim helped me recover shares in a family business that were fraudulently transferred. He was very professional at all times and guided me through the process. I have subsequently used Butcher & Barlow for other services and would recommend both Asim and firm.

I recently used this firm and couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for me.
They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and always made me feel like a priority. What really stood out was the combination of high quality service and competitive pricing , excellent value without compromising on expertise.
I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of reliable and effective legal support. A five-star experience from a firm that truly delivers.

Engaged with Thomas Travis of Butcher Barlow after having used other members of the team on a successful business sale project a few months earlier. We had an ongoing dispute with a local developer on the property boundary and Thomas proposed a strategy that ultimately achieved a successful outcome that satisfied our boundary protection requirements. Thomas and his colleagues were supportive in their updates and feedback but also encouraged our input on the programme's strategy.

I recently engaged Mark Turner of Butcher & Barlow to handle two litigation cases. Both cases were concluded to my complete satisfaction and without having to go to court. One of the cases involved the recovery of a substantial amount of money. I was very impressed with Mark's professional attitude throughout and timely response to issues as they developed. I will have no hesitation in using Mark again if needed, and can thoroughly recommend his services.

I have been on this planet for many a year, and have had countless dealings with different people and organisations.
Perhaps I am one of those blessed or very lucky individuals, but generally speaking, all my dealings with B & B have been painless.
Having said that, I don't think that my guardian angels have anything to do with the most professional and customer friendly treatment I have received from ALL at Butcher & Barlow (NORTHWICH).
I was not expecting a ''What do you think of Butcher & Barlow'' today because I have done business with them a few occasions prior.
However, when I left their office today I told the dear lady at the front desk that I thought they were all very charming people.
