I investigated many law firms to deal with upcoming legal issue .
Luckily I was assigned Paulette Watson who as my solicitor has been phenomenal. She has been transparent throughout entire process , incredibly proactive on my case , is incredibly professional and learned , and has an informative approach to imparting her knowledge that is easy to understand to fundamentally make decision on course of action to take for best resolution .
Her customer service is second to none ,
I would not hesitate to recommend Paulette to anyone going through a divorce , 4 friends will be using her for the current legal issues as I have told them how she is always timely with emails and replying .
So pleased I found the perfect legal professional in Paulette and I am simply a client and have no financial or personal ties to Lawhive or Paulette
So if you need the best contact her you will NOT be disappointed

This is the first time i have used Lawhive. I was very apprehensive at first, using a law firm which isn’t local to me. However i must say i am tremendously happy with the service i received from Laila Gutin. Shes been absolutely amazing throughout the sale of my house which she completed on today. She kept me informed every step of the way and her communication was really good. I will definitely use Laila again for the purchase of my next property and would highly recommend her to friends/family. 5 star service from Laila, thankyou! Yasmin 😊

The service received from start to finish was professional, courteous, practical, efficient, and well supported. Thank you.
Unnecessary delays
Lawhive are the solicitors at the bottom of our property sale chain of 3. They have caused all three parties to miss two different completion dates, claiming that the file is undergoing compliance checks. This has now been going on since 25 August 2026 (11 working days). How long does it take to check a file? These delays are causing significant additional costs for the parties above them in the chain.

Deeply unimpressed with the level of service received from Lawhive. I employed them to help with a Section 21 property repossession and whilst this was ultimately successful, they did not reduce the stress but added to it.
The driver of this was poor and slow communications, in some cases waiting weeks for a response when the SLA is three working days. Even now as I try to close my case, tumbleweed. The only time I got a reply on an acceptable timeframe was when I escalated for a response.
I really wanted to like the service; I liked the concept; but I will never use Lawhive again. I spent thousands and got shocking levels of service and flimsy excuses. Whilst I appreciate my experience could be isolated and down to a single individual, it has left a very poor taste. Approach with caution.

Brilliant..
Good morning.
What can I say, Lawhive are such a fantastic supportive, professional Team in every aspect of my case. Bhavisha's has been very reactive at all times.
Always very quick to respond with professional help in every aspect of my case.
I could not wish for someone better to ask for and has helped me to feel reassuring when you are at your lowest, i believe this was felt, so not only are they a Law Company but also much more than than that...
Highly recommended
I highly recommend Ritu Patel from Lawhive. Thorough, professional and efficient. From the start Ritu was a great listener, asked questions that got me thinking, explained different perspectives and executed what I had asked brilliantly and quickly. She clearly explained different parts of employment law to ensure I got the best deal. She is a pleasure to work with, very trustworthy and made the whole process easy.
A terrible company and be aware of them…
A terrible company and be aware of them if you are a buyer looking for conveyancing service.
I am have been a client of this company on buying my first property. Not only I could not complete, but eventually have to switch to another company eventually out of no choice.
First, Lawhive is not the lender’s penal of any of the lenders. They failed to disclose that at the beginning, they also try to hold your case as long as possible until the lender confirmed they don’t accept separated representation. Bear in mind that I am using a high street lender, how on earth would they not know this is a big limitation for them to take on my case from day one?
They are also very slow with responding and with fund return. Communications have been substandard too. They are also trying to remove low-rating feedbacks on Trust Pilot.
With the above reasons, I would definitely not recommend this company to any buyers on mortgage and SRA should definitely investigate the integrity and compliance of this company.

Excellent service…
I am extremely pleased with the service I am receiving and continue to receive from Lawhive.
Professional, knowledgeable plus supportive
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lawhive to anyone needing professional legal advice
Lawhive have been surprisingly good!
Initially I was concerned about using an on-line legal service but Lawhive have been good. They have got the job done with little fuss. Our current lawyer is really on the ball, moving matters forward and getting the job done.
The legal service was transparent…
The legal service was transparent helpful and easy to follow. I was treated respectfully and the staff member supporting me was always responsive and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the indirect nature of working and the 'chat' style function we used for the transaction. Would 100% recommend for easy simple transactions. Thank you
Very good service with responsive…
Very good service with responsive communication and excellent follow up. Everything completed in an efficient and timely way.
Mr Salim Chaudry - excellent
I have worked with Mr Salim Chaudry on my British Nationality Application and the expereince has been very positive, Salim was reliable, informative, punctual and attentive, prepared my case well and remained in communication throughout. I received a positive decision and am very happy wth Salim's service and engagement. Many thanks!
Avoid this firm
This firm acted for us on a probate sale and on the day we completed they informed us that they could not pay us the proceeds of sale as we did not have a probate account. They then withheld the entire proceeds for 28 days. Our solicitor (Rita Ampaw) was amazing and worked really hard to try to resolve the problem but the firm’s customer service is abysmal. We thought that the firm had probably collapsed and we would not get the money at all . Finally they paid the proceeds but offered us a very low interest payment and an insulting £250 compensation. We have complained to the Legal Ombudsman and reported them to the SRA.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.
I found the advice and support I received through Lawhive to be excellent. The legal advice was clear, professional and extremely supportive, and I felt that my circumstances were properly understood.
Unfortunately, the payment options were not affordable or sustainable for me. As a result, despite being very happy with the advice and service I received, I had to close my file and look for a more affordable option.
I would therefore be very supportive of Lawhive in terms of the quality of legal advice provided, but I would encourage you to consider more flexible and affordable payment options for clients who cannot manage the current costs.
Overall, the advice was excellent; it was the payment structure that ultimately prevented me from continuing.

Alex Clarke was just amazing and very good value for money.
When he took over my case, I was told my the judge that giving my ex husband 50k would be a good deal for me. At the end I got 50k.
Alex was amazing. The case was complicated because it involved foreign assets and shared ownership with third parties.
