“Tim represented me when I suffered life-changing spinal injuries in a road traffic accident. The case was long and complicated, with several expert opinions needed on how my injuries would affect my future life.
Tim handled the management of the many different parts of my case, explaining my options at each stage and ensuring I understood what the technical language meant. Tim’s strategy took account of my personal circumstances and countered other party’s attempts to deter us. He has always been available to talk through my concerns and answer any questions.
Through Tim’s tireless efforts, I have obtained a settlement that exceeded my initial expectations and is a large multiple of the sum I was originally offered prior to his involvement. While the money won’t bring back my mobility, the compensation means I can face my future with confidence.”

Client Feedback | Tim Ransley | Dispute Resolution

Tim has been an incredible adviser, and has delivered a result beyond my expectations. Tim combines outstanding technical knowledge with experience and the ability to explain complex concepts and situations clearly. I am very glad Tim has been representing me. Tim has been excellent throughout, expertly managing my complicated case and getting me a win beyond my expectations.

We have been using the services of Bennett Griffin for a number of years now. During the past 18 months – Isabel Alderton-Sell from the commercial property team has been dealing with some complex land work for us. We found Isabel extremely helpful, friendly and efficient at all times. I find that Isabel has a gift for explaining difficult matters and transcripts into a dialogue/ language we can follow and understand.

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell | Commercial Property

As a flexible office operator, getting the lease right on commercial space is paramount to ensuring our business model works and is safeguarded.  The team at Bennett Griffin lead by Issy Alderton-Sell have been our ‘go to’ commercial property solicitor on all property related enquiries, because they quite simply ‘get it’.  They understand our business needs and negotiate and enforce our rights with a pragmatic approach.   Furthermore, Issy’s above and beyond style really makes you feel that she and the team ‘have got your back’!

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell | Commercial Property

We have used Isabel and her team on various land purchases over the past few years. We have found Isabel to be extremely diligent in every case as well as able to offer pragmatic informed advice. We believe they charge a fair price for a thoroughly professional and responsive service and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell | Commercial Property

Chrissie dealt with the transfer of an industrial unit lease for our business in a relatively short time frame. Everything was carried out timely and without fuss. I would highly recommend Bennett Griffin.

Client Feedback | Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

Communication with Chrissie Edwards was excellent. Parts of the sale no fault from our side, continued for some time. Chrissie always kept me up to date.

Client Feedback | Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

The service we received from Bennett Griffin solicitors was excellent. Chrissie Edwards who handled the purchase was first class. She made every step of the process easy for us.
We would have no hesitation in recommending them and will certainly use them again in the future.

Client Feedback | Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

Chrissie has acted on several matters for us, granting commercial leases on a rural development in Steyning, and advising on title issues. She has always given a cost estimate, stuck to it, dealt with sometimes recalcitrant tenants and their solicitors in a polite but firm way, kept us informed as to progress, and completed the transactions in a timely fashion. Can’t ask for more than that for your lawyer. I can warmly recommend her!

Client Feedback | Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

I have found Joshua to be Reliable, Diligent and extremely professional in all our dealings. We have waited to instruct him following his move. We couldn’t recommend him and his firm more.

Client Feedback | Joshua Coleman | Commercial Property

We have been with Bennett Griffin for many years now and have found the staff to be professional and honest.

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell & Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

The team at Bennett Griffin make legal dealings very easy for us, simplifying the difficult and proactively taking the initiative when needed. It is also about trust and personal relationships and in this area they excel.

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell & Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

We started using BG six years ago after becoming frustrated by the lack of attention and fee levels of our previous lawyers. What a difference the change made – it was so refreshing to be dealing with people who “took ownership” of a transaction, ensured it was driven forward as quickly as possible and didn’t get bogged down in unproductive arguments. It has also been good to discuss problem situation and get sensible pragmatic advice without too many caveats!

Client Feedback | Isabel Alderton-Sell & Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

We have used Bennett Griffin for a variety of commercial conveyancing and legal advice for property purchasing and for negotiating new leases over the last 5 years. We have always found them excellent communicators with a good eye for detail. As customers, we always feel we are in the loop and are constantly updated with relevant details in a timely manner. The board of Abbeyfield consider them to be a safe pair of hands in an unpredictable world.

Client Feedback | Chrissie Edwards | Commercial Property

I have been lucky enough to have Dean Skinner as my property solicitor for at least 8 years, buying, selling and advice. One of the most important things for me is that he actually answers the phone if you need to speak to him or will phone you back if unavailable. Always friendly and approachable.

Client Feedback | Dean Skinner | Residential Property Department

My daughter’s house was owned as half by me and half by her. The time came to transfer my half in to her name and so I needed a firm of solicitors to act for me. Dean Skinner dealt with the whole matter very quickly and managed to get my daughter’s solicitors, who had been dragging their feet, to speed up. I was very pleased indeed with this.”

Client Feedback | Dean Skinner | Residential Property Department

Dean dealt with the purchase of a property to a tight schedule and helped achieve exchange and completion on the target date

Client Feedback | Dean Skinner | Residential Property Department

Dean Skinner and his team at Bennett Griffin managed the conveyancing of the flat I was purchasing. I thought the fees were very competitive and we struck a good relationship from my first exploratory phone conversation. I had little knowledge of the process and Dean was very helpful from the outset, agreeing to phone calls as well as emails to facilitate clarification and minimise delays. As is often the case with conveyancing, there were one or two complications and Dean proved to be diligent in pursuing the Vendor’s solicitors until they provided all of the legally required information in full. I have been very pleased with the service and would unhesitatingly recommend Dean and his team.

Client Feedback | Dean Skinner | Residential Property Department

I have been in the process of selling and buying. Through this process I have been able to compare others solicitors to my own. Through my comparisons all I can say is that I am relieved and impressed that I have been represented by Bennett Griffin. They have been professional and helpful. Whenever I have asked for advice or progression of the sale they have been on hand to help. Communication between myself and them has be exceptional and they have been friendly throughout. I thank them for their help so far.
