Incorporation of cross insurance arrangements for partners and directors
Your people are among your most valuable assets. We can put the necessary safeguards in place should the unthinkable happen to a partner, director or other essential personnel.

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.

10/11/2018 - Alan Warnes dealt with the sale of my father's house after my father died last year. He was sensitive to the fact that my brother and I had lost our father and dealt with everything brilliantly. We had complete confidence in the work Barrett & Co did for us and it was great for my brother and I to have positive dealings with a law firm. Long may it continue!

11/19/2018 - I consulted Justin Sadler, of Barrett & Co, in respect of an Employment Law matter. I found he had an excellent knowledge of the subject area; and the outcome achieved, was more or less as he had indicated. I would therefore have no hesitation in highly recommending him. In addition, I found him to be most personable and it is so much easier to do business with someone you like as well as respecting their expertise.
