‘Her attention to detail is exceptional’, say clients of senior associate Kate Church.

Natalie Minott is ‘thorough, approachable, and professional’.

Having struggled for several years to deal with a contentious property matter due to inexpert legal advice, we were referred by developers to Gary for his ability as a property litigator. Thanks to his expertise in his field and to his extensive knowledge of proceedings, we were guided to success in our Application to the Lands Chamber in the High Court.

Gary provided comprehensive advice throughout, kept us informed at every stage of the case, also keeping costs on schedule. He has a conscientious work ethic and we would not hesitate to recommend Gary’s services to anyone needing property litigation advice.

Tahlia is acting for us in relation to a £7 million claim. She is guiding us through the litigation process brilliantly and is adept, well-connected and an excellent communicator.

The claim is technically complex, and Tahlia’s immense knowledge and experience makes navigating the difficult landscape of litigation much easier.

She has been great at helping us navigate some significant challenges that have arisen, is organised and keeps a keen eye on costs.

From our first telephone call, Tahlia was very professional and helpful, giving us sound legal advice.

Throughout the process, Tahlia was not only proactive, efficient and precise but she patiently took the time to explain in plain English the reasoning of the process. All in all, she provided us with excellent legal services and I would thoroughly recommend her.

A regular client of Jane Mayglothling was purchasing a listed property. During the conveyancing process, Jane spotted several title defects that could have led to her client being liable for costs or disputes once they had taken ownership.

Jane ensured the client was protected with a series of policies, while the Planning, Highways & Environment team contributed concise and helpful advice to add to the protection in risk areas. The client commented: “Good to work with you and the team at HCR again. They have been invaluable over the years; thank you very much.”

Thank you very much for all your work in completing the legal side of the sale of the property.

Your calm and reassuring help over all the ups and downs of the last six months has been invaluable and is much appreciated!

On behalf of the trustees, I would like to thank you and the rest of the team for all the hard work that you have put into this and the support you offered in what has been a very difficult time.

The practice can cater for specialist advise in our property business and adopts an approach that is able to offer smaller businesses a one point of contact most of the time, who is highly qualified and able to discuss your requirement and assign the most appropriate solicitor to deal with your file. If the situation allows or budgets are tight, you are able to use an Associate, knowing fees will reflect this, but work is carefully overseen by a Senior or Partner.

HCR works as a team with the solicitor on the particular case calling on the various skill sets available within the firm which are very extensive. This was apparent at our mediation when legal documents were being drawn up. HCR were at the mediation but also working with their office team to ensure everything was covered and signed up comprehensively on the same day.

A well-rounded litigation practice well able to serve both their regional client base and more widely. A greater depth of experience than might be expected of a firm in their locations, at a regional price.’

HCR has a strong team, capable of dealing with all manner of property disputes. There is a strong ethos of working ‘glove in hand’ with counsel on cases to ensure effective litigation.

Our solicitor made sure she understood what we were seeking to achieve while advising on our best approach and outcome. HCR were good at making sure we were always up to speed with events and billed monthly with detailed analysis of each bill.

The firm provided a very efficient and stress-free service
