Elizabeth Swinburn has excellent legal knowledge, took time to understand our needs and objectives, knowledge of red flags for charities clients , responsive and good at managing expectations, reliable and a total pleasure to deal with.

Rachel Roberts and Ellis Jessica Walby were exemplary; I would not hesitate to instruct them again, or recommend them to others.

Highly proactive, engaged, with exemplary communication across the team, to the client, and to other parties. They demonstrated evident experience and deep expertise in employment law; and were able to utilise that expertise with insightful approaches and advice.

Team members have worked collaboratively to ensure that all of our customer requirements have been met during any personnel absences. An impressive set-up.

When dealing with matters like immigration and visas, the process can get quite stressful. HCR were there every step of the way, ensuring we were kept up to date on any progress, and helping us to plan for any next steps.

I highly value how knowledgeable they are in their field. The lead solicitor tending to my case has proven multiple times to be a very capable lawyer, able to identify key elements in my case and provide clear plans of action every step of the way.

Katherine is professional, sensitive and efficient, which made all the difference in my circumstances. What was a personally challenging and difficult time was made smoother and easier by Katherine’s professional support and diligence.

Katherine’s communication style is firm but respectful, which helps to progress matters where required. Katherine was honest and open about processes, fees and charges, and did her best to work within structures laid out, maintaining efficient communication throughout. I’m hugely grateful to Katherine.

Working with Santiljana Sula on my family’s immigration matters was a truly positive experience. Her professionalism, prompt communication, and personal dedication gave us a great sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the process. She was always approachable, clear in your guidance, and incredibly supportive — especially when we had questions or concerns. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to successfully secure visas for myself, my wife, and our son, and we are genuinely grateful for her help.

Catherine has a refreshing approach that is client-focused and very responsive. What differentiates her from other legal advisers is that her advice is enhanced with a deep knowledge and understanding of our sector and business.

Her advice and guidance is not delivered in the form of a dry legal ‘tome’ but provides an incisive point of view on a series of options, along with a realistic assessment of risk for each approach. Crucially, this also get to grips with the practical steps needed to put their advice into action.

Catherine and the team are friendly and supremely professional, providing pragmatic, astute legal advice and guidance. They translate complex legal matters into clear understandable language that can be used practically by non-lawyers.
