Harper James Reviews 

Emily dealt with our request with great efficiency and provided us with a ready to go document with great speed. We have worked with Harper James for many years now and find them approachable, efficient and trustworthy. No hesitation to recommend them.

Emilia took the stress out of creating our new contracts, she explained everything clearly and made the whole process straightforward, even for us newcomers to legal matters. The efficient service and friendly approach were much appreciated. We're pleased with the results and would recommend Harper James.

Excellent service delivered in a very professional manner. Emily helped us navigate complicated issues and made a real difference to our project

Outstanding Legal Service – Highly Recommend!

I had an incredible experience working with Emilia at Harper James. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and strategic approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Not only did they keep me informed every step of the way, but they also went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Their dedication and knowledge truly set them apart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support.

If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective, I wholeheartedly recommend Emilia Smith at Harper James. A truly outstanding legal professional!

Fabulous people. Worked with them for years

I thoroughly enjoy working with everyone at Harper James. They are meticulous, thorough, and wise advisers to have on your side. Their business model makes legal advice accessible for organisations of our size (we are a growing franchise organisation with around 10 full time staff members and 100 franchises) while offering a breadth of expertise that meets all our business needs. Every team member I've worked with has been highly skilled in their field, and I’m delighted to have them in our corner. Thanks for all your support to date.

In 2024 we instructed Harper James to assist with two commercial property acquisitions. We were introduced to Sam Paxton who has kindly guided us through both transactions. Sam has taken the time to understand the needs of our business and always makes herself available should we have any queries. She is personable and explains legal jargon/concepts in a way that is easy to understand. We very much look forward to working again with Sam in the future and would highly recommend.” – Redteq Analytical Ltd

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sam who has been proactive and helpful throughout. We would have no hesitation in using Harper James in the future and would highly recommend the Commercial Property team to all!” – Dr and Mrs Martin Bennett

What stood out about the Harper James firm is the areas of specialisms that are very broad and well suited for individuals and/or companies that are looking to start their journey, and beyond. The onboarding process was smooth and a special commendation for Emily Sadler for her professionalism, guidance and support.

We contacted Harper James for assistance in an M&A project, something that we had no experience of doing. Jenni Ferguson guided us through the process and was very good at explaining things that appeared complicated to us. If another opportunity comes along, we won't hesitate to contact Harper James again.

We've used Harper James for a number of legal matters and they are super flexible, fast to act, and understanding of our situation.

We primarily use support for client contracts, and it has been smooth sailing at a reasonable cost. Emilia in particular has been super helpful.

Very good advice from Lillian on website privacy and cookie policy. Turned around super quick too!

Absolutely fantastic provider for an SME like us. We’re a small team of ~30 people, so we don’t quite have the budget for a full time in-house counsel, but we also have lots of legal things we need help with!

We’ve had a really useful and insightful experience with Julia from the commercial team so far - which is going to make a massive difference to our business.

Thanks Harper James!!

Julia at Harper James provided great support, was very commercial, and aligned with our organisation's needs.

Working with Emily has been a pleasure, she is prompt in responding to queries and works through topics in a collaborative way

Great and fast service, every time

Great Guidance, timely response and very approachable

Harper James are extremely responsive and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend them.

For any small business looking for the right law firm to guide you through an acquisition I would highly recommend Harper James. My personal experience was with Matt Shakesheff who looked after my sale and passed me over to their team who looked over my new contract of employment as I was staying with my buyer for a 2 year handover. They delivered on budget and on time.

Responsive and expert advice for multiple issues that we've have to deal with from share agreements, IP contracts through to employment contracts.
Ongoing retainer model works as you can accrue hours and use them when you need to.
