The Legal 500 2025 said “HCR Law continues to expand its team in Cambridge, as it cements its place in the elite group of local firms” and that the Cambridge Real Estate team “knows the UK property market inside out”.

Caitlin has supported us through a transfer of land from our neighbours property and she has been so helpful.

Any time we sent an email checking in for an update she quickly responded with all the actions she had taken. She has been really helpful and proactive throughout the whole process despite the land registry taking so long.

It has been a pleasure working with her!

We’d like to thank Tom Matthews at HCR Law for his exceptional support throughout these transactions.

Tom has consistently gone above and beyond, successfully dealing with every curveball that came our way.

Thank you to Tom Matthews, one of the most responsive and knowledgeable solicitors.

I am writing to express my gratitude for your outstanding representation in my case. Thank you for your dedication and the peace of mind you’ve given me.

The strategic approach and attention to detail were exceptional and your prompt and thorough work ensured a swift completion, which is greatly appreciated. It has been a pleasure.

Thank you for the wonderful service that your firm has provided us.

I am incredibly grateful to HCR Law, my solicitor Clare Emery and her fantastic team, including Motunrayo, Imran and Rhondda, for their exceptional support and expertise in helping me purchase my new dental practice. They guided me every step of the way, providing invaluable advice and ensuring that my best interests were always protected. I would like to specially thank Motunrayo for her instrumental role and unwavering support throughout the entire process, being prompt, responsive and patient in answering my questions, and keeping me informed at every step of the transaction. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated solicitor for their business ventures.

Thank you so much for all of your support with our transaction. Our Chair of the Building Committee and myself are so grateful for both your professionalism and for the personal commitments that you both made to support the School.

The matter required a quick resolution to ensure that the school was able to secure the facility promptly, as otherwise there was a risk they would lose their existing use of the site altogether. However thanks to the work of Morgan and James, as well as assistance from the wider team of Paul Watkins, Steve Thomas and Oliver Daniels the school was able to secure the site and the assets of the outgoing operator in a timely manner.

Emme has proven herself to be a thoroughly professional property lawyer handling a wide range of property types and values from modest residential to high value commercial units.

Approachable and readily contactable, she is easy to work with, and I would have no hesitation recommending her to other lenders or clients who require a reliable, technically competent and very thorough property lawyer.

Just wanted to send a quick note over to thank you once again for your hard work in delivering the deal in time for Christmas!

Throughout the process you were both incredibly helpful and pragmatic which has led to the deal getting done. Thank you. Look forward to working together again in the new year.

We valued Suzy’s clear advice and guidance throughout the process greatly, and highly recommend Suzy and HCR to any organisations who may need similar support.
