Barwells Legal Limited is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The firm was formerly a member of the QualitySolicitors network and continues to promote clear communication, transparent costs and practical legal advice for clients across Sussex.

Conveyancing and Property

Barwells advises clients on buying, selling, remortgaging and transferring residential property. The firm can assist with freehold and leasehold transactions, searches, contract review, mortgage requirements, Stamp Duty Land Tax, Land Registry registration and completion arrangements.

The firm provides clear conveyancing fee information and states that it will agree a fixed fee where possible. Where a matter is more complex, or where the scope of work is less predictable, fees may be agreed on an hourly rate basis.

Family Law

Barwells provides family law advice for clients dealing with relationship breakdown, divorce, separation, financial arrangements and issues involving children. The firm recognises that family matters can be stressful and personal, and aims to provide clear and practical advice during difficult circumstances.

The family law team can assist clients in understanding their legal options, protecting their position and working towards a constructive resolution wherever possible.

Litigation and Disputes

Barwells advises on litigation and dispute resolution matters for individuals and businesses. The firm can help clients assess the strength of a claim, respond to disputes, negotiate settlement and take formal legal action where required.

Disputes can be time-consuming and costly if not handled carefully, so early advice can help clients understand their legal position and the most appropriate route forward.

Personal Injury Claims

Barwells can advise clients who have suffered injury as a result of an accident or negligence. This may include helping clients understand whether they have a potential claim, gathering evidence, dealing with insurers and seeking compensation where appropriate.

Personal injury claims may be handled under a no win no fee arrangement where suitable, allowing eligible clients to pursue a claim without paying legal costs upfront.

Wills, Probate and Elderly Client Services

Barwells provides private client services including wills, probate, estate administration and elderly client advice. The firm can help clients prepare a will, review existing arrangements, deal with probate after a death and manage the legal responsibilities involved in administering an estate.

The firm can also advise on matters affecting older clients and their families, including planning for the future and putting appropriate legal arrangements in place.

Commercial Property

Barwells advises businesses, landlords, tenants and property owners on commercial property matters. This may include business leases, property sales and purchases, landlord and tenant issues, lease renewals and other commercial property transactions.

Commercial property work often requires careful attention to detail, particularly where lease terms, repair obligations, rent provisions or business continuity are involved.

Employment Law

Barwells provides employment law advice for businesses and individuals. The firm can assist with workplace disputes, contracts, employment rights, settlement agreements, redundancy issues and other employment-related matters.

For employers, the firm can provide practical advice on managing workplace issues and reducing legal risk. For employees, it can help explain rights, options and possible next steps.

Business Legal Services

Barwells supports businesses with a range of legal issues, including commercial property, employment matters, disputes and general business legal advice. The firm’s business services are designed to help companies manage risk, resolve problems and make informed decisions.

Whether a business is dealing with a property transaction, a staffing issue or a commercial dispute, Barwells can provide legal support tailored to the needs of the organisation.

Accreditations and Regulation

Barwells Legal Limited is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The firm also displays a number of professional accreditations, including recognised quality marks relevant to legal practice management, conveyancing and specialist legal work.

These accreditations help demonstrate that the firm has met recognised professional standards in particular areas of legal service.
