Based in Hull. Known across the UK

We’re a full-service law firm based in a purpose-built office in the heart of Hull. But our client base stretches to all corners of the country, and covers a range of sectors and disciplines—from large PLCs to one-man bands.

How we stack up to big city law firms

“If you we’re that good, you’d have offices in Leeds, Manchester, London…”

They may not say it, but we know that’s what many clients outside of Hull are thinking when they look at us for the first time. It’s a myth. And here are three facts that dispel it.

One. Our credentials speak for themselves.

An “enviable client base”, as described by Chambers & Partners, which includes ASDA, Morrisons, William Hill, Cineworld, Virgin Active, Arnold White Estates, Enterprise Inns, JD Wetherspoons, Kingspan and Sainsbury's, to name a few. And a team of specialist lawyers, led by experienced partners, who are described as “a beacon of expertise” by The Legal 500.

Two. Being based where we are in Hull means we don’t have the same crippling overheads of a big city firm. So our clients get the best of both worlds: a partner with national expertise who can get the job done quicker. And, in many cases, far better value for money.

It also means we don’t need to outsource our deeds storage to no-name third parties. Because we have our own purpose-built facility downstairs, and software that transfers paper to PDF in less than 10 minutes.

Three. When we need to meet with our clients, we take the fast train. We can be from our desk to King’s Cross in around three hours. Or we pick up the phone, email or video call.

Hands-on. Without the hand-me-downs

If you need a partner, you get one. If not, your lawyer will be supervised by a partner at every stage of your case.

No needlessly being passed up or down, left or right, from one person to the next. The person you meet first is your one—and only—point of contact.

It’s their name on the letterhead, their voice over the phone, their hand you shake in every meeting.

Entrepreneurial qualities

Entrepreneurs made us. People who took the initiative, who relished the responsibility, were tanacious and who never shrugged off problems or passed on opportunities but grabbed them with both hands.

We don't take risks with client work but many of the same entrepreneurial traites exists here today. It’s how we’ve always done things. It’s in our blood. And it always will be.

Fearlessly commercial

We’re never afraid to take a commercial view on any issue. Whether we’re handling a multi-million pound estate for a multinational brand, or a new home for a first-time buyer. After all, we are a commercial law firm.

No one will work harder for you

Whether we’re training a client in Scotland one day, defending their case down in London’s High Court the next, or thinking of solutions to their problems over breakfast.
