Charles Russell Speechlys LLP

“A dreadful experience - CRS do not act in the best interests of the client, rather which route is most likely to maximise their revenue.

Either that or they are simply grossly incompetent. They unnecessarily cost me in excess of £3000

“Great people in a well positioned office with views down to the Thames”

“I had a really bad experience with this company.

To give an example after being their client for more than 3 years they still fail at spelling my surname properly. Also due to their accounting mess they also may ask you for payments multiple times even after you settle them. Keep your transfers records. Did they provided accurate and relevant legal advice. No, to be honest, they barely have any advice. Do I think they have my best interest at heart? No, from what I have seen they just tried to extend the litigation to keep invoicing us. Would I hire their services again? No, thank you. Never again. I have learned a lot about English law and the business around it.

“They are very expensive and provide a poor level of service.

Their negotiating skills are abysmal, with their standard response being to agree to everything the other side asks for. I fired them midway through my divorce process and they never released the case file to me, leaving me to fight the rest of my divorce on my own. Their hourly billing rates are higher than what they show in the engagement letter, and their cost estimate is written in a convoluted way.

“This is a law firm.

I visited them for one of their pro bono events. It has a lovely atmosphere. The architecture of the building is nice and the people are love. The building itself is huge. It is not very far from Farringdon train station, but I got lost few times before reaching there.
