We found them a real mixed bag on a French property purchase. They are technically proficient and in some ways did a good job, but their customer service is average and several emails would go unanswered. They also tried it on with fees, not sure they understood what fixed fees were, then pleaded poverty. I had a follow up query post completion, that they have refused to answer twice, guess they have their money and no longer interested. On balance, we wouldn't recommend them.

A great team of solicitors who really know there stuff! I had the pleasure of dealing with Barbara and unlike other solicitors I have dealt with in the past she was really friendly and helpful, she gave me lots of useful help and advice and pointed me to their website which has some fantastic articles and useful information. I would highly recommend them to anyone who requires help or advice regarding french law.
