Our convenient location means we are easily accessible for our clients whether they are travelling by public transport or car. We are within easy walking distance of Victoria and Salford Central stations and the city's extensive tram and bus network. Over the past 100 years, we have established ourselves as one of Manchester's leading law firms thanks to a combination of our unrivalled professionalism and personal service.

Services
We're original, because we're fresh thinkers and are straightforward in the way we deal with people. In fact, having worked this way since 1877, we've made quite a tradition out of being original. Very approachable, practical solutions to problems, but most of all very responsive which I personally think is very important because if you need help, you need it quickly, or at least to know someone is looking at it for you.
The key thing for a solicitor (at least, a solicitor who wants to do a good job for you) is to understand exactly what your organisation is all about and what it needs to achieve. The key thing for you is to be able to trust us. You need to be confident we can deliver. And deliver consistently. Whether it's to do with corporate law, a commercial dispute, property, employment, health and safety, or any business related issue.
From seeing the prospect, to entering discussions, to signing off the contracts, there's no shortage of work involved in buying and selling a business. Where there is complicated work to do, often there is complicated law. And when the law is complex we are here to help. Our expert solicitors can guide you through buying and selling a business with straightforward legal advice.
If you need any legal advice or assistance with regards to business debt recovery, contact the Davis Blank Furniss team now. Many businesses in Manchester, the North West and across the UK have large invoice debts and collecting them is a priority for every organisation as it can make the difference between surviving (and prospering) and insolvency.
Davis Blank Furniss specialises in providing sound legal advice to companies and businesses dealing with different legal scenarios in order to help them reach a satisfactory conclusion. The key thing for a corporate solicitor is to understand exactly what your organisation is all about and what it needs to achieve in a timely manner.

We instructed DBF in July for purchasing a property, and paid £360 for searches. Jennifer was assigned to our file, and she didn't introduce herself to us or answer our emails/return phone calls until last week (mid October) after us chasing the searches for so long. We received the searches only after disinstructing DBF and they are for the incorrect address. We have asked for a refund, and still fobbed off with 'we'll get back to you' or 'will look into it'. I can only recommend that you avoid DBF. We really wish we went with a different firm from the start, but sadly, still have to chase this

Worked with DBF for the sale of our house. Michael Ball dealt with our conveyancing process and cannot praise him enough. He responded instantly to all our enquiries and offered and outstanding customer care, explained everything in detail and trusted his judgment completely. Thank you so much!

We recently sold a house using DBF (Manchester) as our solicitor. Michael Ball was our contact. Michael's professionalism, understanding, communication and speed of response to emails was excellent. Something I thought was going to be stressful and a nightmare was made easy by Michael. We felt at ease and comfortable all through the process. Even completion day was calm. I have heard of horror stories from people, but ours was completely fine. It is important you have faith and trust in your solicitor In Michael we do. Thank you Michael.

I cannot thank Jennifer & the team at David Blank Furniss enough! Jennifer was brilliant at guiding us and worked hard to help complete all paperwork required to complete our house purchase efficiently!
She was amazing at keeping in contact with me and would answer any questions i had, even outside of the general working hours.
I would highly recommend this team & will almost certainly be using them in the future!

Deeply thanks to Amie Tsang giving us a great effort on completion purchase our first house within the stamp duty holiday. We believe she should be very busy in this period but she still giving very professional and excellent performance on our conveyance. I would say thank you to Amie’s assistant Katie Tsang as well she is patient and very helpful to communicate with us. Thanks again to Amie and Katie, Cantonese speaking is really warm.

We just completed on the purchase of our first house, and I cannot thank Michael Ball enough for his outstanding service. Always prompt to respond and kept us well informed, he helped us every step of the way. He was very professional and knowledgeable throughout, he went above and beyond and dealt with some very difficult circumstances for us, we wouldn't use anyone else but Michael for conveyancing going forward.
