Birketts LLP - Solicitors Cambridge

Shibli Begum was recommended to me by my estate agent for a central Cambridge probate sale. She and Jamie-Lee were outstanding: delightful to deal with, impeccably responsive and efficient, constructive when I needed advice, and at a very reasonable price. I can’t recommend Shibli Begum and her team more highly.

I found Birketts Solicitors on Google and gave them a call explaining my case. I was booked in for a face to face meeting at the office in Cambridge, easy access with parking space saved for me. Met with Sebastian and Una, explaining me exactly what my next steps are. Clear guidance and updates, prior to my first hearing. Both were very helpful, professional and efficient during the few weeks prior to the hearing and after. I couldn’t recommend them enough…easy to understand their guidance. Great company, great solicitors and always available for a catch up.

I've worked with Francesca Skakel for the past year during an extremely challenging divorce. Knowing how important it was for me to find the right person to support during this process, I interviewed several solicitors, and felt immediately at ease with Francesca. She provides guidance that is easy to understand, buckets of empathy, humour when it's needed most, and at every stage I felt heard. All I can do is say thank you for the support. I could write 100 things, but in short, having her and the team in my corner as my stone wall, protecting my peace, was a worthwhile investment. Also a heartfelt thank you to Jessica Richardson, Allie Smith, Emily Mullis, and the entire team. Working with you all in part was easy and a pleasure, even during the chaos. Thank you. I can't recommend this team enough for their professionalism, legal expertise, and the care they showed me as a client.

Francesca Skakel and her colleagues at the Cambridge office have been wonderful in helping see me through an extremely challenging divorce. I would absolutely recommend - 100%. Sensitive to cost, empathetic, great and speedy communication, and very knowledgable

I have been working (as a client) with Rachel Frost-Smith and Francesca Skakel for the last 5 months. Their professional expertise, work ethic and interpersonal skills are exceptional. They go above and beyond and it was obvious from day one that they are passionate about what they do. Rachel’s and Francesca’s commitment and compassion made it possible for me to cope with an extremely stressful situation. Although the outcome is still unclear, I am certain that I am in good hands and can look forward to a happy future. Thank you Rachel and Francesca!

Shibli and Jamie-Lee were outstanding! Their clear communication and advice kept us informed at every step of buying our first home. Their expertise and support made the daunting process much easier. They were always available to answer our questions, providing detailed responses to ensure we had a complete understanding and could make informed decisions. Thank you, thank you! We cannot recommend the Birketts team highly enough.

First time buyer, was recommended Shibli from one of my co-workers and I must say, from the very first enquiry to the last handover they have been truly amazing. As a FTB, one expects a lot of helping hand in understanding the process and jargon; Shibli & Jamie-Lee were always responsive, went beyond expectation to answer them in detail, and also took our feedback into account. Both of them kept us up-to date on the process itself, i.e. searches, enquiries with other solicitor, etc. There are some reviews which seem to dive into how much depth Birketts would go into, but this is essential - a house purchase is one of the biggest commitment you would be undertaking and you want the best team to be looking into it (with as much detail as possible). Every step of the way, they explain to you what documents are needed and why they are needed. All in all, I have nothing but just positive feedback and would recommend Birketts (and especially Shibli/Jamie-lee) to anyone looking to purchase a property. Thank you tons for guiding/supporting us through the whole process
