Jacob helped is with this transaction and it had to be completed in a week. He came back to me extremely quickly on any queries and resolved any issues quickly. As a result we hit our deadline and the documentation was of a high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I cannot recommend Tom Howcroft highly enough. He understood my case straight away and that I wanted as quick a settlement as possible because of my age and the stress I was under. He not only achieved an extremely successful outcome for me but did so in a relatively short period of time which was such a relief to me and my family. Tom is an exceptional Solicitor and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback; we're so pleased Tom could provide the swift and successful outcome you needed, and we truly appreciate your trust in him.

From start to finish we found the team at Forbes and especially Ms Rushworth made us feel comfortable and explained each step in a way which allowed us to fully understand the process.

Rebecca advised my elderly parents on making some changes to their wills.
She visited them at home, which was a huge help as it would have been almost impossible to travel to Forbes’ offices. Rebecca was extremely clear, easy to understand and patient, despite my mum’s hearing difficulties and built their trust through her friendly and professional manner.
I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca

Gemma worked for me recently on a seven figure turnover business acquisition deal, covering the SPA, shareholder agreements etc, and supported me with risk litigation throughout the entire process.
Gemma assisted me throughout, she is very knowledgeable and provided a first class service. I would highly recommend Gemma at Forbes to anybody looking for legal support with a business transaction. Thank you Gemma for your support and dedication.

Rebecca has been our primary contact in dealing with the estate of my deceased mother.
The estate affairs were relatively straightforward but concluding the settlement of the estate was delayed by obtaining probate 51 weeks after death, and dilatory communications from financial institutions. Neither of these delays were caused by Rebecca and she kept us informed of her frustrations throughout the process.
When we requested a Deed of Variation towards the end of the process, she swiftly arranged for the matter to be dealt with. We were grateful for her advice and speed of action.
I would recommend her to others.

Not impressed with these. They charge for even a telephone conversation. Heard very little on updates on my dad's will and I'm the executive. If you want a expensive solicitor and get ripped off go with these. I've had more free advice from Farley and there not even dealing with it at no cost.
