Testimonials

  • ‘They have that magic combination of gravitas and high ability paired with a friendly approach.’

  • ‘Sally Pike and Katy Barber are great lawyers and their approach is always client focused, friendly and constructive. They are always a pleasure to deal with.’

  • ‘The team at Thrings is small but excellent. The benefit of a smaller department is that the client doesn't just get one solicitor but the whole team and my goodness what a team they are. Sally Pike leads the charge with years of experience under her belt and a robust head!'

  • ‘Katy Barber is excellent, her client care skills are a cut above the rest and her ability to put even the most difficult client at ease is impressive. I aways know with a brief from Katy that the client will have had their expectations managed. Working with Kate is a delight and I look forward to every brief.'

  • ‘They can handle a simple, small-money case but equally are comfortable with multi-million pound complex disputes. They are a dream to work with and you just know that they will work the case between the hearings, they don't just leave it to counsel on the next occasion.'

  • ‘Sally Pike - she is calmness personified. She gives such good advice, she does not seem to be ruffled by anything and grasps complex children or financial cases with ease.'

  • 'Katy Barber - clients absolutely love her- she is a great litigation strategist but never allows herself to get drawn in to disputes.’
