Phil Clarke handled a recent breach-of-contract dispute for us and proved both quick and efficient throughout. He explained our options in clear, practical terms, set realistic expectations, and kept us updated at every stage. Thanks to his approach the matter was settled swiftly, saving us time and additional costs.

I was new to having to look for a personal injury solicitor & having never been thru this process before i was unsure of what would happen.
But i need not have worried as i was put in the very capable hands of the senior litigator Nick Berry who soon put me at ease & explained the process in a simple & easy manner & soon put my mind at rest.
From start to finish the whole process was smooth & stress free with a positive outcome.
This is a very capable good Yorkshire firm who i highly recommend.

Lisa has been my solicitor now for over 7 years and I cannot fault the work she has done for me in what has been an incredibly stressful and long journey! I have trusted her at all levels, and at all stages, and her insight, wisdom, advice and compassion have gone above and beyond. Lisa has always listened to me and put my needs first, and has dealt sensitively with my tears, anger and frustrations over many difficult issues. I cannot thank Lisa enough, and in a strange way will miss her now this difficult journey has finally come to an end. X
A representative from Eaton Smith LLP responded to this review on 13 June, 2025:
Hi Jo. Thank you so much for your touching and heartfelt words. We’re incredibly proud of Lisa and grateful to have been by your side throughout this long and challenging journey. It means a lot to hear that her insight, compassion, and dedication made a real difference to you. We know how much this has meant, and we’re here to support you whenever you need us in the future. Wishing you all the best as you move forward.

Deborah and her team provided fantastic support on a company acquisition for me. Pulling together a multi-disciplinary team to advise and carry out the transaction effectively with just the right balance of hand-holding, legal advice, and commercial pragmatism. A few sensitive issues arose that were dealt with sympathetically whilst ensuring my risk was mitigated sufficiently. The transaction completed on the day I asked for so I couldn't be happier.
A representative from Eaton Smith LLP responded to this review on 13 June, 2025:
Hi Nick. Thank you for your detailed and positive feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Deborah and her team provided the right blend of expert legal advice, commercial pragmatism, and supportive guidance throughout your company acquisition.

My family are selling their long-standing business which is upsetting enough, and we have received an absolutely appalling service. The first solicitor did nothing and then left, and now the same seems to be happening with the second.
They supposedly pride themselves with keeping clients up to date, however my Father currently has no clue what’s happening months after what should have been a quick sale.
To Eaton Smith… as a company you have caused tears and upset which is absolutely unacceptable!!!

The mergers of two large Huddersfield based law firms, Eaton Smith & Downey and Marshall Mills & Sykes, in 1997, created a strong, modern, forward thinking Yorkshire law firm that has continued to grow and develop and whose large teams of solicitors and other legal advisors have been using their extensive experience to get results for both individuals and businesses for many years, throughout the region, across the UK and internationally.
