Every aspect of the service provided was extremely good. GB and her team communicated with me brilliantly throughout the sale and were always responsive. They also collaborated superbly with the other advisers connected to the sale. GB is just impressive generally - her handling of situations and cutting through information. And funny too.
I appreciated working on a fixed price basis and the admin side of things was all very smooth.

This was not an easy deal due to sensitivities around ownership and the circumstances for the business coming to market.
From start to finish George and her team were excellent. George set out the legal framework of the deal very clearly and was always responsive to any queries or issues that arose. The advice was clear and always commercial, not just based around the law, and understanding the deal in its entirety and the ultimate goal.
All communication was very user-friendly, and the firm’s dealings with any people within the business were always sensitive and professional.
I would certainly recommend George and team.

Georgina handled the sale of our day nursery brilliantly, we felt very confident with her advice and help, and no matter what we asked her, she took time to explain, keeping us informed at every step. We couldn't have asked for a better solicitor to guide us through the process.

We were very fortunate that a google search found Georgina of Barcan and Kirby. She has been professional, supportive and approachable. Georgina responded to every single correspondence within hours and often before and after work. We sold our business swiftly and could not recommend her and her team more. A huge thank you.

This is the third time our company has used the services of Barcan + Kirby. On this occasion we required business and commercial support to review and update a Shareholders Agreement. George was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and accessible, and took the time to understand our business needs and growth plans to ensure she gave appropriate advice. We had very specific timescales to meet and George delivered against those challenging timescales to an extremely high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend George to provide legal advice on business and commercial matters.

Based on a recommendation, my husband and I (the directors) instructed Georgina Bryant of Barcan+Kirby to act as our legal representative in the sale of our business. Georgina has proved to be an exceptional solicitor who has guided us through the entire sales process, and showed outstanding professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. Georgina responded promptly to emails and telephone calls and provided valuable advice at every step. Despite what was a difficult sale, Georgina ensured the whole process ran smoothly culminating in a successful sale completion.
We would thoroughly recommend Georgina Bryant to anyone in need a skilled solicitor for their business transactions.

Rob, Georgina and Hevy were absolutely amazing guiding me through the sale of my business, nothing was too much trouble and when thing became very stressful and tense they were there to help. I even had glowing reviews from my selling agent, telling me that they were one of the best legal firms that they had dealt with.
Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Thank you

Georgina Bryant and her team at Barcan+Kirby handled the sale of our family business superbly. Georgina set out the deal very clearly and her communication throughout made it very easy for the sellers to understand all aspects of the deal. Her advice was commercial and always with the end goal of selling the business in mind.

Overall, I would say the overall approach, advice and responsiveness made a key difference in the whole process and contributed to the success of the transaction. We would certainly recommend.
