Family

‘The support provided by the Harrowells family team, headed up by the extraordinary Amy Foweather, has been absolutely exceptional. Always highly engaged, friendly, attentive to all details, responsive and with a good understanding of client's needs.'

‘Amy Foweather is an exceptional lawyer. She is highly organised, extremely efficient, knowledgeable and caring, offering well researched and pragmatic advice. Amy has been an absolute pleasure to work with.'

Corporate & Commercial

‘The team at Harrowells are a perfect size. Big enough to have the coverage and expertise we need, but small enough for us to feel we know all involved and that we are an important client.’

‘Matthew Rowley was exceptional and a real pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without hesitation.’

Commercial Property

‘First class client service making clients feel that their needs are top priority. Don’t get hung up on administration and seamlessly incorporate it into workflows, no compliance dramas.’

‘Businesslike, focused on the service required, on time, approachable, flexible. Basically, the people, both Partner and Associate treat me as I treat my own clients leading to good teamwork and satisfaction all round.’

Commercial Litigation

‘Their knowledge of insolvency has assisted in allowing our team to progress cases swiftly, and always with a positive outcome (or sensible resolution).’

‘Richard Hugill and Paul Burkinshaw both continue to provide a pragmatic approach to a number of scenarios provided over the many years we have worked together.’

Clinical Negligence – Claimant

‘Always available to talk and always supportive. Professional, knowledgeable and supportive, as well as kind and welcoming. Richard Wood always went the extra mile and was exceptional to work with.’

‘I cannot recommend Harrowells highly enough. Their team, led by Richard Wood, who was my solicitor, were informative, speedy and exceptionally capable. I didn’t ever have to chase for a response, and updates were frequent and clear.’

Personal Injury – Claimant

‘I have found them to be efficient and informed.’

Contentious Trusts and Probate

‘Efficient, friendly, and attention to detail.’

‘Simon Black - I found him to be an exceptional lawyer who was thoroughly on top of his file and prepared to go the extra mile for his clients. He was also a hugely persuasive force at mediation and precisely the kind of lawyer you would want in your corner.’

Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate

'The correspondence was sincere at all times, especially when the family are going through a very sensitive time in their lives.'

'When dealing with Harrowells as a customer, you very soon become aware of their exceptional professional skills. You are carefully guided through the various processes involved in your case. Whatever you ask is answered and fully explained in great, but understandable, detail.'

Agriculture and Estates

‘Our solicitor had great experience in the field of agricultural sales, which reassured us that the often archaic laws will be adhered to.’

'A strong team able to cover the breadth of expertise our client-base demands. There is strong synergy with their other departments, such as private client, to ensure their advice is robust. A good geographic spread of offices to ensure clients have the ability to meet their solicitor at mutually convenient locations.'
