Thank you to Danielle for all her effort during this process, obviously not one I wanted to be in, but Danielle has made it a much clearer and less stressful one.
Commercial Dispute Resolution Client

Andrew Pedley was the driving force at Blacks LLP. He really made us feel like we were the only case on his desk. No job was too small, and no question was too little to ask. He made me feel like my thoughts and views were valid and also explained situations where I wasn't understanding the full picture.
Real Estate Client
Trusted by organisations, families, and professionals across the UK.
Nick helped me through the sale of my family’s Holiday Caravan Park & Residential Park. His knowledge of the industry meant that I was guided through everything and I felt like he was always at the end of the phone when I needed him.

Georgia was incredibly helpful throughout the process of reaching a settlement with a previous employer. Georgia took the time to understand my personal situation and provided clear, considerate, and professional guidance at every stage. Her support made a complex process much easier to navigate, and I felt reassured knowing I was in capable hands.
Employment Client
Trusted by organisations, families, and professionals across the UK.
I used Blacks for purchasing my property and again years later whilst re-mortgaging, everyone who I spoke to at Blacks were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Beth Hill & Jack Dodd were fantastic at their roles. I would use Blacks in the future.

Paula was brilliant throughout, providing help, support and advice during an incredibly long and drawn-out situation that should never have reached that point in the first place. I’m truly grateful for everything she did.

Blacks provided an excellent, comprehensive service when drawing up my will and Lasting Power Attorney. Emily Owston was professional and answered all of my questions.

Chris is a great listener, clear communicator and, in my opinion, a genuinely good, kind human being. I have no hesitation in recommending Blacks in Leeds for any legal matters you may have; you'll be in good hands.

I have dealt with Chris Allen recently concerning some rather upsetting and extremely delicate matters. Chris and the team have proved to be reassuring, down to earth and absolute consummate professionals.
