From Our Website
We have an established track record in providing a high-quality service to both business and private clients in all aspects of property development and commercial property. We provide the calibre of technical and legal expertise clients expect from larger firms - many of our team have experience working in national or Legal 500 ranked firms - combined with the bespoke service, personal touch and competitive pricing that has seen us win a loyal client following in the region and beyond. I know that you have often spent a lot of time on this matter after normal office hours to ensure progress of the sale was maintained - all very much appreciated.
We offer a wide range of private client services, including advice on Wills, trusts and probate, Inheritance Tax planning and Lasting Powers of Attorney. Our experienced team offers clear, practical advice combined with a personalised service that will help you navigate even the most sensitive of issues and ensure your matters are handled according to your wishes. There are key events such as buying a house, getting married, having children or getting divorced which prompt people to make or amend a Will.
Downie & Gadban offers a comprehensive range of legal services to individual and business clients. With offices in Alton, Hampshire and Guildford, Surrey, we cater to clients both locally and across the South on matters including residential and commercial property sales and development, commercial and civil litigation and dispute resolution, and Wills, probate and inheritance matters. Our clients include private / high net worth individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs, as well as a wide range of commercial clients, from SMEs to larger companies.
We act for clients in all types of disputes, representing Claimants, Defendants and interested parties in the County Court and High Court, arbitrations, specialist tribunals (such as the Property Chamber) and in alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation. We provide clear and pragmatic advice to help clients understand the law and procedures and all of their available options, empowering them to adopt the right strategy with confidence. Our robust and practical approach, technical expertise and longstanding experience gives our clients the best chance of success - and our track record is such that we regularly receive referrals from satisfied former clients.

If you plan to emigrate, or to marry, work or buy or sell land or property abroad, you may need the services of a Notary Public. This is an internationally recognised role and is not the same as a solicitor. A Notary Public is a specially trained and qualified lawyer who is permitted to authenticate and certify the execution of documents for use outside the UK - these may include certificates of qualification, identification and marital status or official company documents and agreements. A Notary Public mainly acts as an impartial and legally trained witness to ensure the documents comply with official requirements overseas.
Our debt recovery work is dealt with, or at least supervised by, Robert Small, a Solicitor and Head of the Dispute Resolution department. Robert qualified as a legal Executive in 2007, then as a solicitor in 2010, and has handled a wide range of civil and commercial disputes since the year 2000. He has gained considerable experience in dealing with all aspects of debt recovery, and he is an expert in the procedures involved and the various options and strategies available to creditors to give them the best chance of recovering their debts.
