It was a pleasure to work with Liz and her team. She has a talent in cutting through complexity and turned my long descriptions into short and accurate points in the agreement. Although the work took more time, emails and phone calls than I anticipated, the price stayed fixed as agreed at lexoo. I will reach out to her next time I need a solicitor.

I never leave reviews but I had to this time as Liz Barnet has completely changed my mind about solicitors, she is honest, fast, helpful, VERY knowledgable, efficient, understanding of your situation. To conclude.... she did a stunning job and I have now instructed her on my next job. Her colleague, Kerry Cooper is equally as impressive so thanks to both of you. I don’t need to stress knowing the two of them have my legalities at hand!

A happy customer. Liz is very professional and took a lot of time with us in explaining legal things. Though our transaction failed to complete as it was the fault of the landlord. I recommend her services to others and I will soon be taking her service again.

Many thanks Liz. You and your team (Rachel and Kerry) are definitely the best solicitors I have ever used. My commercial lease renewal was handled expertly. Very professional and extremely thorough. Significantly you brought to light a couple of key areas missed by two previous solicitors. I would not hesitate to recommend you and without doubt I will call you when my lease next renews. First class.

I thought Elizabeth Barnett was very good indeed to deal with. To me it is how lawyers should be. The fees were fair and they stayed as quoted unlike other experiences were they are always moving upwards. She was easy to contact by telephone and acted quickly. Overall, a great service and I would most definitely use her again.

We found Liz via Lexoo. Her quotation was clear and we felt the price was very competitive. Throughout our lease negotiation and review Liz was very responsive to our (sometimes naive) questions and kept us well informed. The support team around Liz were exceptional. A good experience all round.

I had no idea what to expect after I selected on what seems to be the best offer and best price. The next day I received a call from Liz Barnett. The quality of handling the lease agreement from start to end was perfect, Liz highlighted all the potential issues in writing, explained the risks, performed search and completed the agreement on the dead line date. For these reasons I recommend with confidence Lexoo and Liz Barnett of Witherspoon to anyone seeking the same legal services.

Completely satisfied. We worked with Elizebeth Barnett over the course of a few months to complete a lease for a business within central London. It became very involved due to the nature of the lease and Elizebeth handled everything superbly for us. Every section of the process was explained to our understanding. And she was at hand to take our calls whenever we required.

Sanders Witherspoon were first rate. They offered a fixed rate for a commercial property lease transfer which involved a lot of work with numerous phonecalls which were always dealt with promptly. Our solicitor Amir Hamzavi was great as was the legal assistant Rachel Smith.
Liz dealt with the sale of 2 properties for me in March 2017 and dealt with everything quickly & professionally. I would have no hesitation in recommending Liz and indeed Sanders Witherspoon, who I have used many times for both commercial and residential properties.

This was not done by Elizabeth but by a gentleman called Amir. It was completed to our required time scale and would recommend him as we were kept in the loop at all times
