Services
Our clients come to us when faced with a situation that typically requires a responsive and intelligent solution. We will investigate the issues and potential problems that could arise, provide you access to a trusted and experienced advisor (Solicitor or Partner), and generate a well thought out plan, often including multiple areas of law to ensure that your objectives are met.
We are a third generation family firm who have been delivering legal advice to the local community and beyond since the 1960s, with the proud tradition carried on by David Sherwood since the 1970s and his son Alex Sherwood for over 10 years. Having always been located in the heart of Brighton beside the law courts, as the business landscape has changed we have evolved from a high street practice to a bespoke property law firm.
We understand that the purchase or sale of your home is likely to be one of the biggest financial commitments of your life and is a highly sensitive and emotive experience. Having been helping clients for well over 30 years we understand that our clients need to be able to reach their solicitor to discuss the progress of their conveyance.

Alex was nothing but brilliant. He helped us to purchase our first home in the manic rush before the stamp duty holiday ended.
We feel that Alex went above and beyond and we actually completed on the stamp duty holiday deadline meaning we save stamp duty buying our first home! Which we will forever be grateful for. We would 100% instruct Alex the next time we move, he was informative, extremely quick at responding and generally really pleasant to work with.
Thank you Alex for everything and we wish you a very merry Christmas and happy new year!

I've used Alex twice for conveyancing, this time just before the stamp duty holiday ended. Despite extreme levels of pressure upon him, he delivered and saved me a considerable amount of money. He's reliable, diligent and affable. I have recommended him to others, and would use him again.

Alex was recommended to us by friends and I'm so glad we had him on board to help us navigate the process of buying our first home. Alex's communications were clear and professional, and he dealt with all of our questions (as first time buyers, we had many!) very quickly. He helped make an overwhelming process straightforward and was very 'on it' - so much so that we moved within just six weeks of putting in our offer! I really couldn't recommend Alex more.

Excellent service. Karen Coomber handled the purchase of our new property and did an excellent job. Professional, knowledgeable and very easy to get hold of. Responded quickly to everything that came up. Would thoroughly recommend Sherwoods to anyone moving home.

I’ve used Alex a number of times now, most recently for buying my new home in East Sussex. Despite setting a very tight timescale to complete before the stamp duty deadline, Alex was amazing throughout, offered great advice and I managed to complete yesterday saving £££ in stamp duty!
I wouldn’t trust anyone else to deal with my property sale/purchase. He’s professional, proactive, very efficient, approachable and has taken a lot of stress out of each property transaction.
I have already recommended him to a number of friends and family who have also used his services and been equally

I used Alex for a purchase and sale and can't recommend him enough.
He kept the pressure on to ensure I completed before the stamp duty holiday ended saving me a lot of money.
Alex continuously keeps you updated with the progress made meaning most of your queries are already answered before you have the chance to ask.
Thank you so much Alex and the Sherwood Team!

Alex was excellent. His advice was always very helpful and simple for us to comprehend. He worked very hard for us in solving issues that arose. He was easy to communicate with, usually replying extremely quickly. From looking at email threads, he communicated really well with the vendor's solicitors. Alex helped us hugely and we would highly recommend him.
