Services
Events, seminars and webinars run throughout the year on a variety of topics, are free of charge (unless otherwise stated) and open to anyone interested in attending. Our seminars keep you in touch with the key developments in law and provide the opportunity to discuss them with lawyers at Birkett Long.
They only provide an indication and are not necessarily the fee you will pay. Your lawyer will always discuss potential costs with you before your matter begins. Our conveyancing fees are simple - we charge 0.30% of the price of the property, with fees starting at 1500 plus VAT. Our fees cover all the work required to complete the sale or purchase of a property.
The whole process of disputing a will can be very time consuming and emotionally difficult. This is the same whether you are contesting a will, or find yourself on the receiving end of a claim. Our contentious probate specialists help you understand more about the grounds for contesting a will, inheritance act claims or trust disputes.
At Birkett Long, we understand that every business is different and comprehensive legal services are needed for your business. It doesn't matter if you are an international enterprise, a local firm or a new company just setting up, we know you need the best possible business legal advice so that important decisions are straightforward and cost-effective.

Little did I know when I started that five years later I would be a lawyer! My ambition to progress as a lawyer soon became my focus and I started studying towards my CILEX accreditation.

Absolutely shocking service and I have ever experienced such poor practice.Often no response to emails or a delayed reponse which when recieved was always very limited in detail. Reportedly abrupt on telephone to agents and other professionals when attempting to obtain any information.No contingency appeared to be in place for updates on case when… the acting solicitor was 'working from home' on 2 occasions and documents missing signatures on more than one occassion - all created addittional and unnecessary stress in what is already an incredibly stressful process,. The end result was completing

Terrible service. dont reply to emails and when they do it's not really been answered. We had a death in the family and this group has dragged the process out for their own gain. Shame on you Martn King. It's still not resolved and I'm STILL waiting a week later to reply to my email. You know what needs doing now get on and do your job.
