Why Choose Birch & Co?

A Client-Focused Approach From The Start

At Birch & Co, we understand that people do not seek advice from solicitors lightly. Legal issues often arise during stressful or uncertain periods, whether that involves family breakdown, disputes, or planning for the future. From your first contact with us, our focus is on making the process as clear and straightforward as possible, and on supporting you from the outset of your matter until its resolution.

We take the time to listen carefully to your situation, understand your concerns, and explain your options in plain English, so you can make informed decisions. We firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution in law, and we pride ourselves on offering advice that reflects each client’s individual needs rather than generic legal responses.

Membership Of Resolution: A Commitment To Constructive Outcomes

One of the key reasons clients choose Birch & Co is our membership of Resolution, a nationally recognised organisation of family law professionals committed to resolving disputes in a constructive and non-confrontational way.

Resolution members follow a strict Code of Practice, which promotes:

Reducing conflict wherever possible.
Encouraging open communication and cooperation between the parties,
Focusing on practical, long-term solutions.
Putting the interests of children first.

Our membership of Resolution reflects our belief that many legal issues, particularly in family law, are best resolved through calm, measured action rather than aggressive or adversarial tactics. This approach often leads to better outcomes, lower costs, and less emotional strain for clients.

For those situations where court proceedings are unavoidable, clients can still be confident that Birch & Co will represent their interests robustly, while remaining professional and focused on achieving fair results swiftly and cost-effectively.

Cost-Efficient Legal Services With Transparency

Legal costs are a common concern for clients, and understandably so. At Birch & Co, we are committed to providing cost-efficient legal services without compromising on quality or care.

We believe that clients should always understand:

How our fees are calculated.
What work is included.
What options are available to manage costs.

We strive to offer clear pricing structures and discuss likely costs at an early stage. By focusing on early advice, careful planning, and constructive resolution, we aim to keep legal fees proportionate and avoid unnecessary expense.

Our Resolution-based approach often helps reduce costs by minimising conflict and encouraging settlement where appropriate. This means that our clients benefit not only financially, but emotionally as well.

A Personal Touch That Makes A Difference

What truly sets Birch & Co apart is our decidedly personal approach to family law matters. We know that family law problems are rarely just legal in nature – they can affect families, mental health, livelihoods, and peace of mind. Our clients are not treated as case numbers, but as individuals with unique circumstances and priorities.

When you work with Birch & Co, you can expect:

Direct access to your solicitor whenever you need advice, support, or just reassurance.
Clear, jargon-free communication.
Regular updates and honest advice.
A supportive, friendly, and approachable team.

We take pride in building strong relationships with our clients, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their case. Many of our clients come to us through recommendations, which we view as a reflection of the trust we work so hard to earn.
