Employment Assistance

I required assistance with a matter relating to post termination restrictions that was not altogether straightforward in nature and fairly stressful.

Megan was superb from start to finish, providing clear and timely advice as well as being exceptionally friendly and easy to deal with. She made sure I understood all elements of the matter and the work being done as well as keeping me fully up to date with progress at all times. I'd highly recommend Megan and Thackray Williams.

Sale and purchase

I would like to take this time to thank Zoe, Lucy, Julie, Emily, Yasmin and whoever else is part of this fantastic, professional group of lawyers. My first time using Thackray Williams, and was very very impressed how they conducted and executed my sale and purchase within the time frame that was given to them. This team absolutely smashed it, no words can describe how efficient, precise and professional these young ladies are. I will 100% recommend them to anyone looking for legal advice, and will 1000% use them again.
Thank you very very much, you deserve the best of the best.
All the best

Moving Home

We had a very good experience with Thackray Williams. The service was exceptional and they were always available via phone or email whenever we needed them and kept us updated which took away a lot of stress when moving. We were on a very tight deadline and they managed to arrange everything for us quickly. We would recommend Thackray Williams.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Zoe Hitchcock, for her hard work and dedication in completing the purchase of my new home. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I truly appreciate her guidance and support throughout this journey. It was reassuring to know that everything was in capable hands.

Thanks once again for all your efforts.

Very professional and personable service.

Michaela Lewer at the Sevenoaks Office dealt with the drafting of a new Will for me at the end of 2023.

The service was very professional and sound advice was offered; I would thoroughly recommend these Solicitors who I have used on and off for 20 years.

Sevenoaks Branch. Instructed to deal with the execution of a Will in June 2022. First they jacked the price up 25% over their normal rate despite charging by the hour. Their communication is the worst you will find with any company in the UK. Expect to receive click bait emails every 3 to 4 months designed to encourage replies from the beneficiaries. However, you will not receive a reply. Expect a list of excuses as to why they cannot make payments. The last email received was 7 months ago.
The case has been ongoing for three years and still not concluded. Based on the service we have received, I would 100% not recommended this company !

Steer clear of this law firm. My experience with Stuart Ruff started off promisingly, only for us to overshoot the initial estimate by 3x, with charges accrued for every minuscule communication effort. Despite requesting an end to this, it continued.

Numerous typographical errors were evident in their documents, including incorrect agreement dates and participant names.

Complicating matters further, I started receiving bills from Kimberley Deane and Jennifer Scoates, whom I hadn't been previously introduced to. The bills were unclear and their accompanying letters quickly turned aggressive, despite a prior agreement of a one-time payment. Their comments, such as threats of court proceedings if payment wasn't received within 14 days, were unsettling. Here is an example: “Unless payment is received within 14 days from the date of this letter, the debt will be passed to our Debt Collection Department who may issue court proceedings for recovery of the sum due without further notice.”.

I compiled and made the payments, but these unexpected invoices continued to arrive. The firm's departments seemed disconnected with poor internal communication and an aggressive attitude towards paying clients.

Their current rating doesn't reflect my experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice. My hope is that their rating will change to prevent others from enduring similar frustrations.

I engaged Adrian Whichcord and his team, in the Sevenoaks office, for some conveyancing work on the sale of a property. I received excellent and professional service throughout the process, and they managed to meet a very demanding timescale of offer through to exchange in 25 working days. Communication throughout the process was excellent and they were always quick to respond to any queries. I've done a lot of property transactions over the years and the service Thackray's provided is the best I have ever received. Their professional fees are also competitive. I would not hesitate to use them again, or reccomend them to others.

Marcus and Lauren were God sent. They dealt with our case in the most professional way. They were always available to talk and kept us updated at all times.
The process was stressful but they were always there to reassure me. Thank you soooo much Lauren, you are honestly amazing and we appreciate all your help.
