Boddy Matthews Limited > Reigate, England > Firm Profile

‘Helen Boddy was recommended to me. I found her to be very professional, friendly, prompt and efficient. We discussed the issue that I faced and what I needed her to do. She did everything I needed very promptly and provided me with the solution I required.’

‘The main thing for me was the dedication, candour and honesty of Helen Boddy. She was exemplary in her behaviour and offered sensitivity and professionalism. She provided a precise and objective opinion on how things stand.’

‘The practice was unique in my opinion by demonstrating patience and ease of availability despite difficult timeframes and deadlines. My main dealings were with Helen Boddy. Helen was recommended to me for her professionalism and integrity. At all times she was diligent, considered and gave valuable insight into what was a stressful situation. Helen was always patient and diligent and was able to work under extreme pressures on deadlines.’

‘Boddy Matthews are specialists in their field. I have used them for personal legal advice on employment matters for several years. The assignment I approached them for recently was the most challenging yet. They were as assiduous and focused as I have always experienced them to be and quickly got to grips with this evolving field, providing practical advice on the possible routes forward and the potential pitfalls.’

‘Helen Boddy was excellent and got to grips entirely with my case. She was incredibly responsive and helped facilitate an advantageous position for me.’

‘The firm is small but more effective and personal than a large firm of solicitors. The firm offers London calibre without London rates. The team has individual and consistent points of contact, exceptional responses and extensive employment industry knowledge. You have peace of mind that you are in good hands. Helen Boddy should be the first port of call for all escalated employment issues.’

‘I have mainly worked with Helen Boddy. She is a consummate professional, always available and unafraid to give her advice clearly, concisely and determinedly or to probed on sensitive or unclear issues. It feels like a relationship of equals in which she knows her field completely but where she is willing to listen as well as advise and does not come to an issue with preconceptions.’

‘Knowledge, reason and clarity are the attributes of this team which stand out. The advice means I understand the framework within which I am making decisions.’

‘I am accustomed to black and white, unambiguous, ultimately no-nonsense responds in all aspects of life. BML was exactly this type of legal firm. They were methodical, pay attention to detail, are focused, clear, provide precise responses. The guidance, advice, the analysis of the true status quo, my options and the likely outcome were top class. The result justified fully my choice. BML is a team that functions like a Swiss clock mechanism.’

‘I dealt with Kate Matthews, the lawyer and expert in legal matters. The team did not drown into a sea of sophisticated technical terminology or technical arguments but instead succeeded in delivering first class documents which stood in court both on technical grounds and also in legal terms.’

‘Boddy Matthews have always been very professional, offering differing areas of expertise and sound advice. Kate Matthews has always been reliable and efficient with excellent problem solving abilities. She takes the time to understand the clients’ needs and requirements and works hard to find the necessary resolution.’

‘The team is run by two very hard working and dedicated legal professionals. They have a wealth of knowledge in commercial and employment law. Both partners are extremely approachable and go above and beyond the call of duty to help. Kate Matthews is exceptionally dedicated to obtaining the very best outcome for her clients. She consistently guided us through a very tricky litigation. Without her expertise we would likely have found ourselves without a business. We cannot overstate the positive impact of her outstanding legal assistance.’

‘We have worked exclusively with Kate Matthews. The case we are working on with her is a frustrating one yet she is always energetic and pragmatic. I think that durability is a key factor in cases like this when we (the clients) are alternating between tearing our hair out and bored with the whole nonsense. She is efficient and supportive and, we believe, a very good lawyer.’

‘Kate Matthews is approachable, pragmatic, and in my opinion Kate and her team are formidable in their approach to my litigation case, which is unusual and complex. Her response time to queries is exceptional.’

‘I believe Kate Matthews to be unique in her approach to litigation, not only is she exceptionally informed in that field but she always takes time to explain options, strategies, produce agendas and map out her plan of action.’

‘Boddy Matthews Solicitors have a unique legal model. They are small in terms of team but this works and they can offer a comprehensive and effective legal service. They are responsive to contact, pragmatic and effective. They offer London expertise locally. Large legal practices will struggle to offer this personalisation. Kate Matthews is outstanding. Kate is intelligent, perceptive and pragmatic. If you have Kate dealing with your litigation requirements, you will definitely be in good hands.’

‘Boddy Matthews has an approachable and modern team in terms of how they engage and interact within the sectors and specialisms and with existing and potential clients. As a non-legal person you feel able to approach them to discuss ideas and issues. No question is too odd or too stupid, this is a modern law firm that is not traditional and stuffy.’

‘I have known and worked with Kate Matthews for 25 years. She has always given clear and practical advice and support. She is also an industry champion.’

‘I recently used Boddy Matthews for the sale of my company which involved introducing me to an expert in this field. Although I dealt with one of the partners, I felt reassured there were other experts within the practice who could help and give me full confidence throughout the process. To me, Helen Boddy is a stand-out partner. Her attention to detail in every aspect of her work is second to none. Her explanation and guidance throughout the process was very reassuring.’

‘Kate Matthews of Boddy Matthews is very experienced in franchising. She always goes beyond questions, she prepared everything that we had not thought of, and I feel safe having her as our franchise legal counsellor. Helen Boddy is always available, she replies very quickly to requests and is also able to perform the actual work within very good time frames.’

‘Very friendly and welcoming firm where the partners give you the sense that they really care about you and that you are important to them. The team is approachable, user friendly and competent. When you run a business, you need excellent response times and good communication, you always get this from Boddy Matthews. Their level of collaboration never falters. The people are personable and knowledgeable.’

‘The partners have first class experience and expertise with commercial awareness. They express this without the jargon offered by many professionals which helps the client’s decision-making processes.’

‘The team at Boddy Matthews are unique. I was referred to Boddy Matthews by one of my clients and after my initial chat with the team I knew they were the team and firm for me. They deliver legal services to an exceptionally high standard, the extent of their legal knowledge is outstanding, they are pragmatic, responsive, clear when giving advice or communicating and authoritative.’

‘Kate Matthews and Louise Elliott have been fantastic from the very first contact. Kate Matthews is definitely stand-out for me. Since Louise Elliott took over my case, she has been one of a kind. She has an extremely professional approach and conduct, she is efficient in handling my matters, thorough, accessible, effective, bold in arguments, robust, gives good value for my work overall and achieves results. They are both extremely easy to work with and proactive. I would definitely recommend them and this firm to anyone.’

‘Boddy Matthews has two specialist areas which are employment law and franchising. The partners also understand these in-depth so can provide that focused and specialist advice across many sectors.’

‘Kate Matthews always provides great legal advice with a commercial and practical application, so clients absolutely trust her advice and expertise.’
