Lauren (& Ruth from HR) were very helpful with an employee dispute recently.
Although we have been established for over 50 years we were totally unsure of how to proceed.
Lauren and Ruth were very helpful in guiding us through the process of finding a sensible and pragmatic solution.

I have been trying to pursue a medical negligence claim for some time now and this keeps being delayedt by my doctor/consultants coming up with new excuses and recently I was mis diagnosed, I contacted this solicitors to try and take action against the party's concerned and highlighted the moving goal post I had experience. And this was why my original issue was several years ago and it is because I am now aware that there is an issue as they keep coming up with new excuses which I have to research to clarify the ventality of the doctors or hospitals claims. And so when I become aware that there can new claims are not valid this is from the date that the three years date applies. Having spoken to young lady she asked me which having spoken to young lady she asked me which trusts or hospitals etc was I looking to seek redress with. I mentioned the hospitals and she clearly stated that the firm could not pursue a claim in my case as it was a conflict of interest. This is the most honest that has solicitor has been with me in regard to this matter most just say I cannot help you goodbye. as you only have a set period of time to take the case to court this is disgusting I'm hats off to this company for stating that it was a conflict of interest and they are now going to recommend solicitors out of the area who may be able to assist me and I am waiting her email as I write this. They seem to have good integrity.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 17 June, 2024:
Thank you for your feedback with your experience. On occasion we find that a conflict of interest stops us from acting on behalf of certain individuals or companies. In cases such as this we endeavour to be as transparent and helpful as we can. Hopefully in your case we are able to offer you some suitable alternatives. Many thanks again for taking the time to provide us with a review.

Chantal Muniandy acted for my partner and I in both a house sale and purchase. She is trustworthy, efficient and an excellent communicator. Her advice was invaluable throughout the process. Jordan and Karen have also been very pleasant and efficient to deal with. I wholeheartedly recommend the team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Used Brachers for selling a property. We were very impressed by the service that Chantal gave. She was professional, quick to return emails, answered questions clearly and got us in a good place ready to exchange. She communicated well and kept us informed. She went over and above to ensure the chain exchanged and we got to completion. I find house selling stressful, and she did her best to make it less stressful.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 24 July, 2023:
Thank you for your feedback Trudi, we are really glad that Chantal was able to make the process of house selling less stressful for you and that you were happy with the level of service that we provided. We have passed this onto the team involved. If you need any guidance in the future please get in touch.

Excellent service, Rachel was always on top of everything , chasing the right people etc, and always responded to any questions I had very promptly.
Brachers are not the cheapest around but they are reasonably priced and are definitely worth more than every penny they charge.
I also really like the app. Last time I used Brachers this wasn’t about and it makes such a difference, making everything so much easier.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 11 October, 2024:
