Barnetts - Solicitors - Estate Agents

Since early in the 19th Century, when the doors of the law firm which is now known as Barnetts first opened, we've always been forward looking.

Times have changed since Col Hugh Barnett tethered his horse to the building while he worked, and many individual staff members have come and gone, but our ethos has always been the same.

We're devoted to providing a personalised, multi-skilled service to all our clients, with an experienced team of lawyers and paralegals capable of supporting you through every legal process.

Every one of our solicitors is qualified and able to handle a broad general workload, but each member of our team also has their own area of expertise, enabling us to handle all aspects of your legal work throughout your lifetime.


Personal service is key to the Barnetts ethos. Our three partners Alastair Cochrane, Lynn Walker and Hollie McDicken, pride themselves in establishing good client relationships. They are backed up by our highly professional team of legal associates, assistants, paralegals and office staff. Together, we all undertake regular professional training to maximise our skills and keep up to date with new legislation, techniques and best practice.

Our biggest strength is in the quality and experience of our staff, many of whom have been with the firm for many years, ensuring continuity and giving clients a highly personalised experience.

Many of our clients and their families have used Barnetts time and time again to assist with their cases, knowing that they can always be assured of prompt, sympathetic and efficient service, tailored specifically to their needs.
