We’re more than just advisors with an in-depth knowledge, we become an integral partner and an extension of your team.
Our team draws together specialists from a number of different departments from insurance to business immigration, commercial, corporate, debt recovery, employment, HR consultancy, intellectual property, insolvency, litigation, property and property litigation, each of which support clients across sectors such as care, construction, education, housing, manufacturing & engineering, retail and the public sector.
At all times we complement our clients’ own areas of expertise to provide a seamless and cost effective service with competitive and flexible pricing. We provide legal advice, training, host events, provide legal and sector-based news updates and facilitate networking with other clients.

Forbes have a wealth of knowledge and experience across a multitude of areas. Despite their vast capabilities, the personal touch is not lost and a customer centric approach is at the heart of how Forbes operates. I have dealt with many defendant law firms in my career and Forbes are top of their game.

Adelle has been such a breeze to deal with throughout the running of my 2 claims. Both has successfully been dealt with, in under 12 months from start to finish. Adelle was very responsive, polite and empathetic to my needs as a client. She is extremely thorough and easy to contact, no question or enquiry remained unanswered. Perfect service. Adelle comes highly recommended.

Adelle provided an excellent service and went above a beyond during some points of my case. She was very understanding and listened when I had concerns. She provided a personal touch which was reassuring but professional. I would highly recommend Forbes and particularly Adelle to anyone wishing to pursue a claim.

I used Forbes to pursue a compensation claim after a bus driver hit me and left the scene. Whilst it was a fairly minor incident and no significant injures the fact the driver left the scene encouraged me to report it and pursue a claim. Adelle at Forbes was excellent throughout and managed to secure me some compensation. Its the 2nd time I've used Forbes and would highly recommend.
