Setting the standard in local legal representation
About hero

We strive to provide the very best legal advice

Phillip less jargon

Less of the legal jargon


We always aim to give you quick and easy access to legal advice – either by phone, email or in person – providing you with all the information you need in clear, concise English. And, of course, all matters are always handled with the utmost discretion, with absolute confidentiality guaranteed.

With an expansive knowledge of the law, a personal approach to your needs and a refreshingly forward-thinking outlook, it is little wonder that we have remained the first port of call for generations of local families looking for the very best legal advice.

High standards. Happy clients.

Working with Lexcel, we are constantly trying to improve our practice for the benefit of you, our client.

Team shot

The practice’s ability to understand and meet client requirements, and to manage client expectations and other operational risks (from receipt of initial instructions through to case completion), remains consistently high…

Our offices


With headquarters in London Road, Leigh and a second branch on Leigh Broadway, our offices are in prime locations that allow us to serve the entire Southend and South East Essex area, as well as the rest of Essex and the East End of London. Our head office in London Road is based in the former Barclays bank, constructed in the 1930s. Staying true to the original design while adding a touch of modernity, the office is equipped with two state-of-the-art conference rooms – the Vault and the Manager’s Room – so we’re never short of room to discuss work with clients of any size.
