Incredible, highly recommended!!

Very very Good and beautiful

Sharing my experience to help others considering legal support for employment matters.

While the initial consultation was impressive, I quickly found that the costs escalated and the quality of the work felt fairly average — not what I had expected from a higher-profile law firm. For a relatively simple and not legally complex piece of work, the final fees felt disproportionately high. I also struggled to understand how the time was being allocated, and in my case I didn’t feel there was sufficient transparency or proactive oversight around the developing charges. As a client, I had expected clearer guidance on billing and a better sense of how the costs might evolve.

The work itself was completed, but in all honesty I felt that much of it could have been done without significant legal intervention. The pace of work at times felt slow, and occasionally appeared secondary to other priorities. The overall value for money wasn’t what I had hoped for, and I left the process feeling disappointed.

I want to like Harbottle, but based on my experience, I would suggest exploring specialist employment boutiques or firms that offer clearer pricing structures and better cost control if you have a relatively uncomplicated employment matter.

This reflects only my personal experience, but I hope it helps others make an informed choice.

I’ve had the privilege of being a training provider for Harbottle & Lewis over the past two years. During this time, I’ve come to know the firm, its culture, and its people very well—and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

In the training room, I work closely with staff at all levels, delivering professional development workshops where they trust me and speak openly about their work and environment. With my decades of experience in law firms around the world, I can confidently say that the professionalism, integrity, client focus, and expertise demonstrated here are of the highest standard and consistent.

There’s no gloss or pretence in my sessions—what you see is real—and across the board, from reception to senior partners, these qualities come through consistently and impressively.

I have no hesitation in recommending Harbottle & Lewis. Some of the negative reviews here appear to reflect personal grievances rather than an objective view of the firm’s people or values, which I believe are exemplary.

Harbottle & Lewis you still haven't said sorry to me for your letters! Now I found out you wrote letters to youtube about my TS Life video! That was my freedom to impart information, and you tried to claim that my exposure of his corruption and bullying, was me defaming the criminal CEO who resides in Dubai evading Irish authorities! It's links to organised crime as far as I'm concerned. You owe me an apology! A hand written letter and lovely gift, you have my address.

They may be good lawyers but they suppress comment on Russian oligarchs according to Bob Seely, the Conservative MP for the Isle of Wight in the House of Commons so I would never use them.

Michael Lister and Sophia Daw at Harbottle and Lewis have and continue to offer us a professional, personable and first class legal service.

They have helped us to negotiate and secure a new model agreement for my teenaged daughter with an international agency.

They are extremely knowledgeable and connected to the business side of the fashion industry, through Harbottle and Lewis's work and commitment to The Responsible Trust for Models; and their personal expertise representing model clients.

This has been especially helpful for us, as we knew very little about this side of the fashion industry.

As a parent, I had concerns around the safeguarding and protection for my daughter as a new and young model entering into the industry.

However, through their guidance and advice we have gained a good insight and understanding and those elements are reflected in the agreement.

Throughout the agreement process Michael and Sophia were meticulous in going through the details with us and explained the legal jargons in plain english to ensure we knew what each clause meant - they advised us of possible options to consider.

They've truly been amazing and as result all parties involved are happy with the end result.

I also sought advice on Trust Funds and May Delaney provided some sound legal advice around that too.

If you're in a similar situation or need to renew a current model agreement, I highly recommend contacting Harbottle and Lewis to speak to Michael and Sophia for an excellent legal service.
