We are an International Sports Federation and needed assistance with getting our Federation incorporated as a Company with Limited Liability. We were walked through the whole process with incredible professionalism but also a lot of understanding and flexibility in the various services required. Jane Whitfield did a wonderful "hand-holding" exercise and once we had completed our incorporation she again walked us through the whole process of registering as a Charity. This process was also completed successfully. As the person that worked very closely with Barrett Co and Jane in particular, I can testify not only to the professionalism, but also the friendly and efficient way in which the whole process was dealt with until completion. We are looking to walk a long road with this company as we deal with further legislative requirements.

8/07/2018 - I contacted Barrett and Co to get my Will prepared. Charlotte Fox is the Solicitor that dealt with it. My meeting at there offices with Charlotte and her Trainee was exceptionally smooth and reassuring. I found Charlotte very understanding and approachable. I am delighted with her service and the firm's ethos. Will recommend confidently to my friends and to myself for any legal or statutory matter.

I would highly recommend using Paul Wild for divorce proceedings.
He is friendly and great at explaining all the wording that courts like to use .
You are greeted by a wonderful receptionist who makes you feel very relaxed in what was a very stressful time. Which helped a lot.
Thank you .

11/27/2018 - Justin Sadler supported me through the process of agreeing a compromise / settlement agreement with my employer. He was very understanding both of my position and of what the legal position was. He asked lots of questions to make sure he understood the fact pattern and then put my case forward to get the best deal possible. I was very happy with the overall outcome and the significantly increased offer we received from the employer. I would happily use Justin again and would recommend the use of him and his team.
