Absolutely avoid at all costs!
I cannot begin to explain the trouble we are currently having with this firm. Their staff seem completely incapable of carrying out even the simplest tasks, such as returning phone calls. They often fail to respond for days or even weeks at a time, and when they finally do, their response is no different from what it was two weeks earlier.
We should have completed on two separate occasions over the last few weeks, but due to their sheer lack of communication and urgency, this has repeatedly fallen through.
I sincerely hope this review reaches potential clients and makes them reconsider choosing this firm.
We are now at risk of losing our new home. We have missed several family events, and this situation has even begun to affect potential job opportunities, as everyone knows changing jobs during a house sale can create complications. I have never felt so exhausted and deflated by a single company.
One of the first things a conveyancing solicitor should do is ensure source-of-funds checks are completed and approved. Astonishingly, this basic and widely understood step appears to have been overlooked by this firm's employees.
My advice to the company going forward would be simple: communicate and prioritise. If you are handling a case with a known deadline that you have been aware of for over a month, do everything possible to meet that deadline rather than leaving important steps until the day before completion. If delays are unavoidable, communicate this clearly and honestly with your clients instead of hiding behind solicitor jargon.
I can only hope we complete soon so that I can finally wash my hands of this firm. Otherwise, we will seriously consider taking further legal action — obviously not through these solicitors.

Alisha was great, no completion no pay saved me a lot in fees as a first time home buyer, maybe could have been a bit quicker

Absolutely horrendous! Used to buy a property and the solicitor was unresponsive continuously. Luckily we had a financial advisor who could escalate our case repeatedly. It took her over 2wks to review one piece of paper and this was on more than one occasion. We almost lost the property as the vendors were fed up with no response to their solicitor from ours also. The mortgage had to be extended as it took us past the expiration date for the mortgage in principle. It wasn’t a difficult buy, no occupants, no chain.
We finally got to near completion to find out from the estate agent that our solicitor had left the firm (2wks previous) and that they “would get round to letting the clients know eventually”!!!!!!
The solicitor that took over the case for the last few days was brilliant, wish it was her from the beginning.

Tom was very calm and methodical. He listened carefully to what we wanted and we felt listened to. At no point did we feel rushed and bearing in mind we were asking Tom to prepare our Wills and LPAs, this was important and appreciated.

I would strongly advise people to look ELSEWHERE regarding their legal matters.
Chadwick Lawrence made an unforgiveable error in the handling of my late father's will and simply cannot be trusted. The investigation has been escalated as the firm's response in this matter was nothing short of dismissive and scandalous. Without going into too much detail, they actually got the beneficiaries INCORRECT in the will and i have proof. Do NOT trust this company with ANY of your legal affairs.

My experience with Igors Scepecs was great. He was professional and very easy to contact and conducted my purchase very smoothly. Not all solicitors are the same. He is fantastic.

Rebecca & Bryony are absolutely fantastic, I wouldn't use any other solicitors, I always receive a prompt reply when I have a query, level of detail these ladies have is exceptional.... they are not your average conveyancers !

Reply from Chadwick Lawrence
I have used Bryony, Rebecca and Aimee for several years now and wow what a team! I won’t use any one else. They consistently offer a service that is superior to anyone else in the industry. When I instruct them I have no doubt that they will deliver an unrivalled first class service. They are so down to earth and are always on hand to answer any questions me or my clients have. Their patience and understanding of client needs is rare. Nothing is ever too much trouble.They won’t just sit there waiting for answers to enquiries they chase until they get the answers they need. Communication is both personal and professional and responses to calls or emails are instant. So many conveyancers could learn a lot from the way they treat their clients and the outstanding customer experience they deliver. Bryony and Rebecca are the only reason I choose Chadwick Lawrence and are an asset to the business. Thank you ladies you really are without doubt the best in the business !

The ease of using the app to set the case up, communication & efficiency of the case handler Jess & her assistant Raabia made for a pleasant experience throughout the transaction. would definitely recommend & use again

Reply from Chadwick Lawrence
I've been recommending Chadwick Lawrence for quite a while now, and I can honestly say that the Bryony MacFarland, Rebecca Moss and Aimee Dixon are the best team for conveyancing by far. Their commitment to customer service and attention to detail is second to none. Great to deal with as well, top top team
