mfg Solicitors in short

mfg Solicitors is an eight-office practice with a Telford branch at Padmore House, where employment advice for businesses and individuals sits alongside property, family and business teams. What sets it apart is the depth of its published tribunal pricing: three bands for each side with hourly rates, VAT and hearing-day costs shown. The firm is on the solicitors register and states conveyancing accreditation on its site.

Customer reviews are strong at 4.8 on Google from 35 reviews, the only public rating source on record. In our view tabulated costs and a long company record count in its favour. mfg suits anyone who wants employment costs nailed down before they instruct, in our judgement. The gap is paperwork: no insurance details are published.

Our verdict

Our view is that mfg suits you if you want employment advice with costs tabulated up front for either side of a dispute [4] [5]. SRA registration with stated Conveyancing Quality accreditation sits behind the team, and the company record runs since 2006 [8] [9]. The gap is paperwork: no insurance details are published [1].
