    Amazing experience

    After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.

    First class service

    I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

    Great service when you need clarity and calm

    Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

Using a solicitor means you can put your best foot forward and hopefully avoid costly court proceedings. Beyond your peace of mind, there are plenty of other benefits to using a solicitor:

  • Watertight commercial contracts: Businesses live and die on the power of great contracts. A commercial contract expert guarantees that your agreements are legally sound and can fully protect your business.
  • Manage potential risks: Solicitors help identify potential risks and create strategies to mitigate them. It's their job to stay up to date with regulation changes and ensure you're 100% compliant, whatever the industry.
  • Mitigate disputes: Ultimately, it's the job of a solicitor to reduce the chance of a potential dispute. Using a commercial law solicitor means you have someone to help quickly resolve issues or guide you through the complex court process.

Key elements include contract law, the Sale of Goods Act 1979, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and the Companies Act 2006.
