Working with Lupton Fawcett

We aim to be a different kind of law firm - one that treats you like an individual, not a case number. One that tells you what you need to know and keeps things as straightforward as possible, rather than simply quoting legal jargon to you. Above all, we believe in getting things done and surpassing your expectations.

We've been practising law for over 100 years, but there are no ivory towers here. From SMEs to PLCs, we consider every one of our clients' businesses to be as important as our own. As a result, our approachable team is reassuringly straight-talking, open-minded and forward-thinking.

Here’s what one client had to say about his experience of working with our housebuilding law team:

“Since joining Lupton Fawcett, I have nothing but praise for the way they have dealt with my affairs. Sarah (Sargent) and her team have handled several difficult transfers which they inherited from my previous solicitors (for whom I had lost all confidence in).

Going forward, I have numerous property sales in 2017 and a large development of 14 executive houses which will be ongoing for the next 2-3 years. I'm looking forward to the future knowing that my legal requirements are in the hands of a competent team.

I have recommended Sarah to several of my friends and business associates, confident in the fact that they would receive the same level of professionalism that I am receiving.”
