“A pleasure to work with Andrew Hitchon. Responsive, communicative, made understanding and concise in his guidance.”Martin K
“Rothera Bray and the lead partner – Andrew Hitchon – provided my family and I with a supportive and informative experience as we had to navigate the probate process and realisation of the family estate. This was particularly important as the firm had to deal with a cumbersome and slow UK government in terms of their provision of information/communication and then seeking the requisite probate approval confirmations. The appropriate level of communication was provided and the significant administrative engagement with various parties was undertaken without issue. ”Hugh Riddlesdell
