Our Resolve. Your Resolution.

Testimonials published in The Legal 500
The Legal 500 (2025 edition):
‘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.’
The Legal 500 (2024 edition):
‘Richard Hugill is a serious litigator and very good tactician who sees the kernel of the dispute and is an excellent judge of litigation tactics and moves.’
The Legal 500 (2023 edition):
‘A very dedicated small team, always accessible, straight advice. As a client, you feel valued – unlike some of the bigger firms, you’re not passed between different associates – you simply deal with the person who knows every detail about you and your case. You have a feeling they really fight for you because your case matters to them. They work with you to decide on aims and strategy, and they don’t let things drift – there’s a focus and a reason for every step they take, and just as important, they explain it all to you. They know the courts and how to deal with opponents.’
We provide frank advice and focus on delivering down to earth, commercial solutions for clients across different business sectors and can advise on a wide range of disputes.
