Al Ross

Calm, methodical, personable and more than paid for his fee within the first phone call. Highly recommended.
Adam
Intellectual Property & Patent Lawyer
Richard is a very knowledgable man. Would highly recommend as he really helped me out.
Sam
Contracts Lawyer
I contacted Barrett legal to go over a contract between myself and a client that other lawyers had written. The advise was extremely sound, the follow up was great and I felt I understood everything that was being advised and the reason behind it.
Kel
Contracts Lawyer
I had communication with Barratt Legal regarding a commercial contract between a client and I.
The advice I received was clear, coherent and was of such quality that it warranted a change in strategy.
This change meant that there was no longer a need to do business Barratt Law suggested resources which will aid us further.
Outstanding service and intend to use them in the future.

What do you love most about your job?
Applying common sense and the experience I have gained to issues that are often technically complex.
Variety! I have worked with companies in many different sectors. I enjoy learning about their specific business practices and peculiarities and drafting/developing new approaches to cover them in legal projects.
Negotiating deals and the associated interaction with my clients and other parties. There is nothing more satisfying than working out a deal strategy and tag teaming with my client to deliver a sensible end result
What inspired you to start your own business?
I spent many years in large law firms. The ability to undertake the same kind of work outside large corporate culture/bureaucracy was a major driver for me. I also know that I can give more hands on individual focus to my clients, who have been extremely loyal over the years, and that I can provide a quality legal service at sensible fee rates.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have been lucky enough to have advised on legal projects in a many different sectors, ranging across technology, sport, manufacture, sale and distribution of products, exploitation of IP, corporate ventures and the financial sector. I have over 35 years experience handling deals across the spectrum, from assisting start up ventures to £multi billion value projects both in the UK and internationally. If you engage me you get me (not a junior lawyer somewhere in the firm) but at the same fee rates that you would pay for a junior lawyer.
