What our clients say

  • I’ve used Blacks a few times over the years and never had any issues. Their service is professional and efficient. I would recommend Blacks to anyone.

  • Communication was very good throughout the process.

  • The team works together and advice is seamless at client facing stage. They understand the needs of the client meaning as a client I am not repeating myself.

  • Their knowledge and professionalism are as good as any I have come across and I am able to avail myself of their expertise unconditionally. As a result we refer plenty of work to them and vice versa.

  • Welcoming and open company who make clients feel welcome. Able to deal with everything from property law to corporate law.

  • Blacks have a very good all round team that seem to work well and communicate well between departments. They are a big enough company to have highly skilled people all different areas of expertise but still keep a very personal relationship with clients. I feel that as a small family business we get the same level of service that a large corporate company would expect.

  • Everyone was professional and cheerful. Even when associates were not under direct supervision of a partner the cheerful mood continued. It seems like it must be a good place to work.

  • As a rule, all the individuals I work with bring their own individuality to the table and you always feel you are working with professional friends as opposed to someone who is simply there to do the job and move on to the next one.

  • The firm’s ethos has always been to give quality advice and service to clients and their advisers. This is always done in a professional manner, in very acceptable time frames and at reasonable costs.

  • My experience has been extremely positive and thorough – an extremely knowledgeable and capable solicitor, who was available 24/7 on either telephone or email, was able to guide me through a complex situation which was resolved with a very satisfactory outcome.

  • The relationship feels to be a very personal one, they are always interested in how my company is performing, they retain a detailed knowledge of the business from previous dealings which can’t be easy to achieve across all clients. Advice given is not only legal, but also backed up with practical and pragmatic suggestions.

  • I found them highly efficient and easy to deal with and their employment team met with me and within days of me calling them. All the staff that I met were friendly and easy going and that made it a lot easier for me to open up about my concerns and discuss them frankly and openly. The advice they gave was first class.

  • The team works together and advice is seamless at client facing stage. The team work together to understand the needs of the client meaning as a client I am not repeating myself.

  • Blacks has developed an excellent reputation as a mid-tier firm punching above its weight. It handles a wide variety of disputes from small value to multi-million.

  • Billing is clear and comes only after the job is finished. Technology used during the Covid pandemic allowed face to face meetings and it was easy to get in touch.

  • Great service, super helpful, very responsive, always kept me informed and the team was always able to step in if my main point of contact wasn’t available.

  • Absolutely excellent service. The best solicitors I have used by far. Very responsive, proactive and just generally nice people to deal with. Breath of fresh air.

  • It was a pleasure to work with Blacks. I worked with 3 people in the team, all at different levels and each one was professional and thorough in their work with me. I really appreciated that everything was clearly explained to me and all their checks were thorough. I have been buying and renting out houses for 25 years, using many different Solicitors and Conveyancers, Blacks come at the top!

    Thank you!

  • Very professional and client focused company. Phone calls and emails are always answered and replied to virtually immediately or within an acceptable timeframe. Always do what they promise. Would highly recommend this firm and would use again if their services were required.

  • Quick response, down to Earth and a swift resolution. Thank you.

  • My experience with Blacks Solicitors LLP has been outstanding and I have found their service to be faultless – they always responded promptly and acted as an effective and sincere advocate on my behalf. I came to Blacks after getting in contact with a string of other solicitors who were nowhere near as professional and direct as the service I received here.

  • I cannot thank Clare and the Blacks team enough for their hard work and excellent service.
    I have used with several solicitors over the past few years but none of them have been as thorough and attentive as Blacks. Not only were they detailed with their searches but they also kept me up to date throughout the process and were responsive to any questions that I had.
    When choosing a solicitor, price, level of service and detail are the three important factors to me and Blacks win in all three areas.
    I will continue to recommend Blacks Solicitors to friends and family and would happily use them again in the future

  • Honest and independent advice giving me ample time to decide on what cause of action I should take. After initial consultation and then instruction the matter was dealt with efficiently. A very helpful and friendly service provided, would recommend.

  • I have used Blacks previously due to the capability to do everything remotely which was beneficial at the time. This time I used them based on my last experience and the fact they had a local office which was accessible to me which I needed this time. I was assisted by a local solicitor who was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to speak to and made the whole process very simple, easy and almost stress free. He made a purchase happen in a month and handled my sale at the same time. He gave good advice which saved time and money and was able to translate the legal nonsense into plain English and explain the repercussions of any decision. The cost and value for money was very good and I ended up with a much lower bill than I expected. I will definitely use Blacks again if I decide to move in the future and would definitely recommend to anyone for there local and remote services which were both excellent, and I have no complaints at all.

  • Excellent Service, new contracts created specific to our needs, delivered in a timely manner exactly what we asked for as a Company.

  • We have used Blacks for many years, both to conveyance property and for company legal work and we’ve always been impressed with their no-nonsense, ‘can-do’ attitude.

Charges are reasonable, service is excellent. Highly recommended.

  • Blacks were great from start to finish. Prompt and clear communication and efficient service.

  • I was in a position the likes of which I had never experienced before; I had no idea what had happened, where I could go, what I could do about it and who could help me. I literally stumbled across Blacks in a conversation with a colleague of my wife. I contacted them, explained what had happened and within a few days I could cross out 75% of my list; the other 25% came over the course of our relationship. Professional and knowledgeable, always helpful and above all, friendly. Thank you.

They were dealing with a large company and due to Black’s knowledge, expertise and determination for a fair outcome, they won my case. I will recommend them to other small businesses and friends. Thanks so much for doing a fantastic job.

  • Let’s be honest, the small print in life is hard to understand and Blacks have guided us through the worst of this with elegance and the up most professional manner. I have worked with Blacks since 2007 and they are first to call for the help when we need it.

  • My Blacks representative handled my case with speed, sensitivity and tact, often anticipating my needs, yet working collaboratively to achieve a fair resolution. I was never patronised, and felt that no query was too small or insignificant to raise; this approach nurtured trust and put me at ease – a highly prized feeling when faced with emotionally-charged legal negotiations. Working with Blacks, I felt that true professionals were on my side. I highly recommend and strongly endorse Blacks LLP.

  • I can state that Blacks Solicitors has provided a professional service from start to finish when dealing with a civil matter of mine. This law firm was recommended by an associate of mine who said that he had used their services several times… and that their attention to detail and charging structure was good. Having used their services… I can confirm that I got detailed answers to all my questions and a lot of information I would never think about, even though I did my research.
