Thank you to Miriam S for timely and efficient help updating my Will. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Efrat for your assistance for me to getting UK Visa. I am Ukrainian and I needed to open a Skilled Worker visa for 3 years. Efrat was super nice, provided very important information on each stage preparing documents. She answered to all my questions very quickly and I will be always thankful to her help in my difficult time.

Our Company worked with Efrat Shemesh from Branch Austin McCormick LLP and we highly recommend them. We found Efrat's service to be very effective and we recieved a positive outcome very swiftly. We will definetly use them in the future, highly recomended!

when we first contact Eftrat we were worried and confused about the process of applying for a spouse visa. Efrat explained and simplified everything, reassuring us all the way. we could clearly see that she knows her job and all the rules and laws top to bottom, managing the process thoroughly and leading us to a successful result!
we are extremely thankful.

After a lengthy hearing - and a gruelling cross examination I had to endure, the Judge ruled in our favour!
For me, having never appeared in a court before (except Jury service), the whole journey has been edifying and somewhat daunting, and certainly an emotional roller coaster!
At times over the months, I wanted to jack the whole thing in, when I realised how much of my own time and effort was required, and indeed costs that I have had to bear, with the thought of how much more it would cost me if we lost.
However, Elliot Hammer addressed my questions and anxieties admirably as we went along, with his easy and relaxed manor and assurances.
It took nearly four hours to conclude, as it ran overtime and the Judge had to go to another case and come back while we waited. Towards the end of the judge’s summing up and adjudication, (which she did so eruditely), I started to realise we were going to win – against all my expectations! The Judge even refused them leave to appeal, but as we would expect from these people they are already applying for permission to appeal.
So the journey is NOT OVER, and we brace ourselves for their appeal - if and when it comes.
My everlasting gratitude to those who have supported me throughout, friends and strangers alike, and especially to Elliot our Solicitor who did a brilliant job putting the brief together and arguing in Court, forensically defeating the other side blow by blow.

I am very grateful with their service, Efrat help me out with the process of my BRP in a very short period of time. She was always following me in every step and if it was not for her, it may have took so long.
Totally recommended, they are a very serious company to trust!

It is with great pleasure, and a large dollop of gratitude, that I write this review of Messrs Branch Austin, a law firm that is packed with talented and empathetic professionals.

I am disallowed on reviewing the circus parading as a law firm which acted, but didn’t act, for a company I was previously a director of, and then, in a conflict of interest, sided with what became 50% of the board of directors and the belligerents in this sorry tale of a group of family businesses and Board rooms gone terribly wrong.

Nevertheless, upon their taking up our cause, Messrs Branch Austin - with dream team Hal and Harender Branch at the front line - after 18 months of the Covid crisis affecting previous solicitors’ performance via burn out or indeed, most unfortunately, illness, renewed my faith not only in the competency of those involved in this tricky section of company law, but also in humanity.

What the belligerents and the previous law firm did to almost erode my faith entirely in lawyers, accountants and people over the nearly two years of bitter dispute, was within 3 months restored by Hal and Harender and their team, with wary experience now the only difference between now and those naïve concepts that were manifest pre-Covid.

What had been so sorely missing under the Circus Masters (and Mistresses) of the previous shower, along with their inability to run a bath, was now all too clear and as abundant the produce farmed in Mpumalanga, Mzanzi’s fruit basket of the East: competency; honesty; integrity; passion; empathy; courtesy; professionalism; comprehension; wisdom; knowledge; expertise; SAVOIR FAIRE.

What can I say? Branch Austin were Olympic Gold. And the others? Why, they were the pits, man. Truly.

Excellent service from Miriam Spero on will drafting. Would highly recommend!

My husband has Alzheimers and we were referred to Miriam Spero at Branch Austin as a solicitor who has expereince with Dementia clients. We needed someone who could manage the will preparation in a understanding and sympathetic way. Miriam was excellent and put my husband at ease and helped him through the process. I would thoroughly recommend her. We visited the office on 2 occasions and encountered a friendly and helpful team.

Tania Austin has guided me succesfully through several complex property transactions in recent years. I am happy to recommend her firm.

Outstanding solicitors. In particular, Elliot Hammer, who represented me in my Employment Tribunal case, scored a very easy (and fast) win on a case that was considered by some as being "complex". Elliot is very experienced and can turn complicated issues into simple, straightforward matters, to the benefit of his clients. I would very highly recommend the firm, having worked with them on several matters. Hal Branch and Elliot Hammer and two of the most experienced and no-nonsense solicitors I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Branch Austin represented me on a personal matter and I am truly grateful for being appointed Elliot Hammer (Partner).

When you take a case further in the direction of legal, you are already nervous thinking whether you have made the right decision. However, I received great guidance, explanation and sound advice which made every decision positive and comfortable in reaching.

I would surely recommend Elliot Hammer and Branch Austin solicitors for their compassion and professionalism.

I cannot thank Elliot enough for all the hard work and commitment he has put into my case right from the very beginning. He has supported me through every step, taking into consideration each detail, and making sure that I am fully prepared before the case. Elliot's passion for justice is evidence as is his relentlessness, which made me feel confident that he would do his very best when representing me- he went above and beyond. I highly recommend Elliot to anyone who is looking for an employment solicitor; he is in a league of his own with a wealth of experience in this field and he won't let you down.

Elliot Hammer has been so supportive throughout every stage of my case. We won! He put my mind at ease at every stage.

Roland handled the legal work in the recent purchase of my flat and I found the whole experience completely stress free, as was the sale of my flat in the west country dealt with by Tania earlier on in the year. It makes such a difference to receive a reply the same day or following day from a solicitor and to be copied in on some of the emails going back and forth so that you know roughly where you are in the journey. I also appreciated the clarity in emails, phone calls and invoices. I will certainly pass on contact details to anyone looking for a consultant solicitor.

Saika Alam has been truly outstanding in her management of my complex matrimonial and child access case for the past year. The story started with marital disharmony which quickly escalated into appauling allegations made by my spouse that lead to the involvement of social services, police and the courts. I had an injunction against access to my home and was barred from seeing my child. Being a professional, I was suspended from employment till the outcome of police investigations and court case. Initially whatever could go wrong went wrong and I had reached a very low point in my life losing literally everything I had; job, home and above all my child.

Saika Alam was my solicitor from the outset. She was calm, empathic and transparent. She acknowledged the initial setbacks but always gave me hope by keeping site of the bigger picture. She is perceptive but above all very meticulous and efficient. We managed to overhaul myself from a heartbreaking situation to one of confidence and positivity.

The police cases were dropped and Saika managed to persuade the court to bring the hearing back a few months due my special circumstances. She searched for the best barristers who were also admirable in court and we managed to gain success in all fronts with my legal fees falling on my spouse.
I gained access to my house again and was quickly reinstated into work again.

Saika was also quick to work on access to my child in tandem with the matrimonial case; and I have gained a good arrangement via court and am reunited with my child and enjoying a wonderful relationship.

A year on from the initial turmoil and heartache I am now in a much better position in life. Reinstated into my job with complete access to my house and above all reunited with my beloved child.

This was a landmark case covering all aspects of matriomonial legalities. Saika has been truly wonderous and I cannot recommend her enough for her sheer professionalism and expertise. Saika is mindful of legal costs and always gives you the most cost effective approach in each situation. She is one of a kind and an asset to any legal firm.

I will continue to work with her to conclude my divorce and financial settlement and know she will have my best interests at heart.

After speaking with 3 lawyers my wife and I were unsure of their quality, but when I was suggested Branch Austin after speaking to them (Jeyesh Jethwa) within 10 mins we realised how professional and legitimate they were and instantly chose to go with them. We applied for a spouse visa for my wife in the middle of a pandemic who was on a tourist visa, yet within 1.5 months due to their extensive knowledge and hard work we were granted the Spouse visa without having to leave the country.

Working with them was so easy, they did not over charge at all, we had access to call as much as we wanted and continually kept in contact via email. Jayesh Jethwa and Charlotte Catto were extremely professional, efficient, polite and thorough in their work. Charlotte provided extensive guidelines which helped us prepare paper work and coordinate with my employers really easily.

It was obvious how experienced they were in getting a spouse visa given the examples they were giving us which really helped organise and format our paperwork. They also keep the clients on their toes which is a pleasant surprise because it prevents the process dragging even from the client's side.

I would strongly suggest using their services to anyone applying for a spouse based on the quality of work, work ethic and politeness of their staff. It would save a lot of headache for anyone applying for a spouse visa if they chose Branch Austin because I doubt any other firm can give better service than them. We appreciate their hard work at how quickly all of this was done. Especially thankful to Charlotte Catto for her tireless work with us.

Outstanding firm of highly capable and very professional individuals. We will be using Branch Austin LLP for years to come.

We have used Branch Austin for the sale of 2 properties, and the purchase of a property, in London. Both times we found Tania Austin to be extremely efficient and managed the swift and at times complicated sales with all the knowledge, experience and professionalism you would hope from a lawyer. And beyond that, she also excellently managed the relational side of getting a deal done as well as the technical side. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her and the firm.

Great help from Elliot Hammer on my case, I would recommend using this guy, he is very informative and helps you understand each step of the way.
