What our clients say

'Julian Harvey and his team were recommended to us in connection with the sale of our company. From the outset, their advice was always clear and succinct and given in a calm and good humoured manner. We were working to a tight timescale and the corporate team at Downs worked extremely efficiently to ensure that the deal completed smoothly and on time. During our transaction, we were also introduced to other departments who all did an equally excellent job and I have no hesitation in recommending Downs to anyone requiring legal services. ' Client 

'From previous experience, I had a very low opinion of legal firms. However, I was recommended to Downs Solicitors LLP as a down to earth, supportive and realistic law firm who focus on the client’s needs at a reasonable price. Julian and his team at Downs certainly changed my view of law firms. Julian advised me on the sale of my company and were both always available to respond to my questions. Through every step of the way we felt that our interests were being fully protected and they achieved a very positive outcome.' - Client

Without hesitation, I would recommend Julian and Downs to anyone. Thank you to Julian and his team for the outstanding support and quality of service.' - Client
