About the firm

Three things we do most of

Harrowgate & Co has been in the middle of Leeds since 2004. We know the law, and we also know that most people ringing a solicitor would rather not be ringing one.

Company and commercial

Contracts, share sales and shareholder disputes

From incorporating to selling up. On the bigger deals you get a timetable in advance, so you know what you are signing and when.

Conveyancing

Houses, flats and commercial property

Searches, contract, exchange, completion and registration. Your money sits in a client account governed by the SRA rules until it is meant to move.

Family and probate

Divorce, children and dealing with an estate

Where an agreement is possible we go for it — it is quicker and cheaper than court. Where it is not, we go to court properly prepared.

Why us

The things people actually want

It stays between us

Legal professional privilege, and a file kept securely rather than on somebody else’s cloud drive.

We answer

Emails answered within 24 hours as a rule, and out of hours when something is genuinely urgent.

Costs agreed first

A written costs estimate before we start. Hourly, fixed fee or, where the law allows it, a conditional fee.

Twenty years of it

Over 1,400 matters in twenty years. Long enough to know when to push and when to settle.

A good solicitor is not the one who wins every argument. It is the one who keeps you out of the arguments that were never worth having.

What to expect

Three things you get in writing

Not testimonials — the things the rules and good practice require anyway.

A costs estimate before we start. In a client care letter, with the basis of charging and what is likely to change it. If the estimate moves, you hear about it before the work is done, not on the bill.

The name of the person doing the work. Who they are, what they are qualified as, and who supervises them. You should never be passed round a firm without being told.

How to complain, and to whom. Ours is in the client care letter, and if we cannot resolve it you can go to the Legal Ombudsman. Every regulated firm has to tell you that.

Get in touch

Let us have a first conversation

Write or ring. In the first conversation we will tell you where you stand and what the options are — at no charge.
