Matt Cook has provided a consistently reliable and professional service over the years on a variety of company matters. His legal knowledge is superb and he is a pleasure to work with. He explains things clearly, listens carefully and follows up promptly. I trust his knowledge and his judgement. I will happily work with him again. He is supported by an excellent team so a big thanks to them too.

Friendly and Professional

Having had little experience with any solicitors in the past we were unsure what to expect, however, within minutes of our initial conversation we were already at ease with Georgia. We sourced quotes from two other companies but Bright Solicitors were the best for value and communication so it was easy to choose them.
Communication throughout the whole process was regular and efficient, we felt very much informed at every step of the way, we also felt that both Georgia and Matt were clear with their dialect and made sure we fully understood all the legal jargon!
We would 100% recommend both Georgia and Matt to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Excellent service all round. Super easy to deal with. Worked with Matt and Joe, both very professional. I don't usually 'enjoy' working with solicitors, so this was quite a refreshing change!

Thanks team at Bright Solicitors!
