Testimonials:

"Have had great experience with mfg in all their activities that they have been assisting myself, my family and my business with, thank you."

"We started using mfg in 2021 only because a solicitor who we had worked with for over 15 years and who we trusted explicitly for her professionalism and ethos had moved there. What a great decision that has proven to be. mfg in all of our dealings (leases, contracts and commercial purchase) have proven to be stars. This is a highly professional and ethical firm with a client focused ethos. Their team have a wide range of knowledge covering literally everything, they communicate with their clients and are hyper responsive to requests putting many other firms we could name to shame. In the 10 months the commercial property purchase we undertook they have truly proven their worth and where other solicitors involved were quite frankly not up to the job, failed to communicate or seemingly to to do their job, mfg held the whole process together and went the extra mile to ensure that it crossed the line before the buyer pulled out for a better offer. If it had not been for mfg I am sure that the deal would have been lost. The solicitors involved in the deal and who we have to thank are Phil Hutsby-Hunt who bravely stepped in when our assigned solicitor Paul Harris went off on paternity and dealt with crucial phases to get this across the line - Phil is a true stalwart and professional. And Emily Stancer, a trainee solicitor at mfg who supported both Phil and Paul and I am sure will be a star in her own right in the future. So to summarise, if you want a legal firm from an ethical and professional client focused firm then you need to look no further than mfg Solicitors."

"This is our second time using mfg’s services to assist with our building legal issues. Mr. Phil Hunt has been exceptionally professional and helpful throughout the process — we couldn’t have asked for more."

"I must say, Mr. Hunt is one of the best solicitors I have ever worked with. He attended on-site meetings with us and the landlord to help negotiate terms, which is not something solicitors usually do in person. Whenever I sent emails with questions, Mr. Hunt always responded promptly and accurately. With his extensive legal knowledge, he consistently provided advice we hadn’t even considered. The process of our purchase took much longer than usual, but Mr. Hunt demonstrated great patience throughout. Additionally, his colleagues were very helpful during the entire process. I highly recommend their services."

"I wish to extend my gratitude for the invaluable assistance provided by Mr. Phil Hunt from mfg Solicitors in our recent land acquisition for the construction of our new headquarters. Phil's professionalism has been truly commendable. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to guide us in making informed decisions significantly contributed to reducing our time investment. Phil consistently responds promptly to our emails and communicates efficiently, even considering my limited knowledge of legal matters. I must say, I have never had such an amazing experience with solicitors as I did with Phil. I wholeheartedly recommend his services."

“Many thanks for your efficient work Phil. You really made a difference.”
