Management Buyout

My husband and I asked Harrowells for assistance with purchasing the company we worked for, as a Management Buyout. From beginning to end, Daniel guided us through the process with exceptional knowledge, patience and friendly professionalism. His calm and organised approach to our case was exactly what we needed, providing clear advice at every point to help us make informed decisions, and going the extra mile to meet very tight deadlines. We are so grateful to Daniel for his support throughout the process and enabling us to get the deal over the line. We would 100% recommend his services.

Neighbour dispute regarding overhanging gutters, soffits and fascia

In 2020 our neighbour threatened to remove guttering, soffits and fascia from one side of our home which overhang into his air space. The conveyancing solicitor was found to have been lacking attentiveness to the information provided on the Property Information form by the previous owner regarding disputes. Their insurers have accepted that there was negligence. Harrowells Ltd were engaged to act on our behalf in this matter to try to resolve the issue legally, including the offer of a payment and legal costs to the neighbour, who declined them. However, a claim for damages for negligence by the conveyancing solicitor has been successful. This, over a period of four years.

Support in litigation

We engaged Harrowells to assist us with a complex dispute with a customer. We found their expertise and clear communication immediately re-assuring and at all steps of the process Harrowells were proactive in managing all parties and giving us clear advice. Whilst a number of the legal issues involved were complicated, they were always explained to us in plain English with options and associated risks presented. Ultimately we achieved an agreed resolution through mediation avoiding a lengthy and costly court process and this would not have been possible without the excellent counsel from Harrowells.

Business Sale & Lease back

Matthew did an excellent job from start to finish. He was recommended to me after being let down by another firm of solicitors who had caused a delay in the sale of my business. Matthew very quickly got things moving, he understood the time pressure I was under so not to loose the sale. He also gave me contacts for his colleagues to deal with my divorce and employment law. Nothing was a problem to him, he kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. Excellent service from everybody at Harrowells. The phones were always answered, emails always replied to , face to face meetings if needed. Matthew made a very stressful situation a million times better.

I am very grateful to Harrowells, especially so Mr Black, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable and very reliable. He helped me with a home sale, and the results were better than I hoped, because of the effort he put in. I am very happy with the cost, and the service I received from this company. I entirely recommend them, have trust in knowing they will do the best they can for their clients. Many thanks.
