We have been in business for over 59 years, yet had little experience in the area of expertise required to deal with the commercial tenant issue we found ourselves in, Paige guided us through it, and we got an unexpected positive result.

Very professional approach giving us all the details which we needed to make informed decisions and challenge the landlords as needed to get to the right place for us. Also done in a very friendly way which I really appreciated. The combination of these two approaches made it very easy to do business with Zoe and her team.

Highly recommend Mark Turner for his exceptional legal services. Mark's professionalism and efficiency were evident throughout the handling of my personal matter. His expertise in drafting and attention to detail made the entire process smooth. If you're seeking a dedicated and skilled lawyer, Mark Turner is an excellent choice.

I have dealt with several of the partners and staff at Butcher and Barlow over the last seven years and have been delighted by their approachable, helpful nature and their high professional standards. Having spent 40 years in business, including 20 years running my own, I know that finding a reliable law firm is not easy, and I wish I had discovered them sooner. Although Butcher and Barlow are not local to me and I haven’t used them for my business, they have handled a number of different issues exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

As an SME navigating complex client interactions in a commercial setting can be very difficult. Whilst we're experts in our own fields navigating running the business and dealing with any litigation complexities needs lawyers who are responsive, reassuring and deliver the best outcome. Butcher and Barlow did this for us and resolved our issue quickly, with minimum fuss. Couldn't have asked for more.

Having spent two years in a protracted dispute with a client over the payment of several large invoices we contacted Butcher Barlow to ask for some advice. Asim Din was appointed to us and from his first contact he explained fully the position we were in and our options. With his help we formulated a plan and he then put it in to practice. I found his professionalism and calm demeanour a real boon as to me this was over two years of stress and conflict being worked through to a conclusion. We followed Asim's recommendations at each step and I must admit that the outcome far exceeded my expectations. I would whole heartedly recommend both Butcher Barlow and in particular Asim Din to anyone who finds themselves in unfamiliar territory and needs legal expertise to solve a problem.

Rebecca Jepson represented my family with a fairly complex land transaction. Rebecca's service was exemplary, as I was representing my family and there were multiple stakeholders involved, Rebecca spent a great deal of time explaining the transaction to myself and then providing a clear and concise regular brief that I could share with the other parties.
The transaction was complex and Rebecca was tenacious when dealing with the other parties who were quite challenging but throughout our dealings (approx 18 months) Rebecca was professional and approachable at all times.

I have been on this planet for many a year, and have had countless dealings with different people and organisations.
Perhaps I am one of those blessed or very lucky individuals, but generally speaking, all my dealings with B & B have been painless.
Having said that, I don't think that my guardian angels have anything to do with the most professional and customer friendly treatment I have received from ALL at Butcher & Barlow (NORTHWICH).
I was not expecting a ''What do you think of Butcher & Barlow'' today because I have done business with them a few occasions prior.
However, when I left their office today I told the dear lady at the front desk that I thought they were all very charming people.

For over 12 months, Mark Fletcher at Butcher and Barlow has been providing me with excellent legal advice. Although it sometimes might not have been what I wanted to hear, it was always in my best interests. Mark informed me of the fees up front so there were never any hidden costs. Communication and follow-up was excellent and Mark was able to discuss my case either on the phone, by email or face to face. I would highly recommend Butcher and Barlow.

We have used Butcher & Barlow for a few years and we couldn't be happier. We are told every update each step of the way and are included and informed in each decision. Plus, our case handler is amazing.
If you require a solicitor, use these.
