Bridie was just superb. Particularly after our early experience with Kylie who sadly didn’t seem to do very much for us! Bridie took over and immediately got to grips with what hadn’t been done. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
A representative from Rutters responded to this review on 23 June, 2025:
Dear John and Wendy, Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted that Bridie provided the support and attention you needed and turned things around for you. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Rutters

Kylie Bourne combines efficiency, precision, value for money and excellent communication skills. She handled the conveyance with superb authority. An extraordinary talent who swung into action immediately upon receiving my instruction. She should be your first choice.

I worked with Duncan to have a Will drafted, and during this process I had a fairly major operation and then forgot to go back and complete the process for a long time. Duncan was extremely patient, and the end to end initial meetings through to finalising was very easy for me as a customer.
I would highly recommend to anyone.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Tom! We're glad to hear that Duncan’s patience and support made the Wills, Trusts and Probate process easy for you. Your recommendation means a lot, and we're pleased we could assist you in finalizing your will!

As an estate agent with no previous relationship with this firm, (I’m based in Cambridge) I think I am well placed to say how impressive they are. It is so refreshing to work with a proactive solicitor on conveyancing matters. Efficient and highly professional. I would strongly recommend this company and Catharine Morrison in particular to anyone that want excellent representation and the speediest transaction possible. Five stars from me!

Dear Mike, Thank you for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear that Catharine and our team provided you with efficient and professional service. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Best regards, Rutters
