Here is a summary of the published feedback:

‘Superb ability in both corporate and family law, billing has always been transparent and fair plus the ability to hit agreed timescales has never been questioned.’

‘I can highly recommend Matthew Rowley – the advice given over numerous years has been nothing but first class – a true understanding of the task in hand and the ability to deliver the advice in simple laymen terms is second to none. A true asset to Harrowells.’

‘Susie Mortonson is my main point of contact and she is currently heading up the sale of one of our companies, they have worked evenings, weekends and Susie was on holiday for a week but still made herself available’

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

‘We engaged Harrowells to resolve a rights of access dispute with a developer and were impressed with the service we received. We were never made to feel that our case was any less important than the larger corporate cases.’

‘Richard Hugill – thorough, tenacious, good communication.’

‘Good knowledge. Professionalism. Communication.

Clinical Negligence & Personal Injury

‘An excellent personal injury department.’

‘Richard Wood is very impressive. At the top end of clinical negligence lawyers and as good as anyone nationally.’
