Brilliantly advised by Sophie and Cat in relation to a dispute following an exit from my employer.
They were able to present my complaint in a clear, concise way backed up with a pre notification of legal action.
This resulted in a quick acknowledgment, full admittance of liability and offer to settle the matter in full.
A great result!

I used Bailoran Solicitors for the first time last week and had a great experience. Ellie kindly provided some free initial advice regarding approval of my Terms of Business and, as a new business owner, also shared some really helpful additional tips with me. She was knowledgeable, approachable and generous with her time. I would certainly use their services again in the future if needed.

Ellie has been absolutely brilliant over the last few years, supporting our small and growing business. She is super supportive by explaining in layman's terms what we need to understand and where we need to give consideration to. She is warm and professional. I would highly recommend her company. Thank you Ellie

I couldn't recommend Bailoran Solicitors highly enough. Mia Wales recently helped me with a contractual dispute. The high level of care, attention to detail and professionalism Mia showed to my case and to me was so very impressive. I am keen to share this great service experience and recommend Mia and Bailoran to anyone or any business that requires expert legal help in this field.

John Bailes is a brilliant solicitor. He possesses that rare combination of being both incredibly personable and a fiercely effective litigator. His approach is pragmatic, strategic, and highly approachable.

I have consulted John for legal advice and have always been impressed by his high-level professionalism coupled with genuine care and empathy. He provides clear guidance and inspires total confidence.

I wouldn't consider using anyone else in Leeds and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

I have recently used Balioran to help me recover a debt from a car dealership. The dealership were quite difficult to deal with , rude and , occasionally aggressive. However Sophie and Andrew took over the case and dealt with them in a professional manner , using their legal expertise and experience to quickly bring them to their senses and agree a settlement. I received my payment in full last week . I could not have done it without them . 100 % recommended .

Well done and thank you !

I contacted Bailoran Solicitors for advice on a covenant dispute I had with a neighbour. I spoke to Sophie, she was extremely helpful and just as importantly easy to chat to and put me at ease. Sophie explained various options including advice on checking whether I had legal costs cover with my home insurance, which I would never have thought of. Sophie took time to reply to my email after chatting to a colleague and further outlined what would be involved without any pressure. Thankfully my neighbour resolved the issue I had.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Bailoran Solicitors as my first experience with them was absolutely brilliant.
