Langleys is a different kind of law firm.
Unlike other generalist practices, we have focused on building core specialisms in specific markets. Our clients range from farmers and landowners, real estate investors and family businesses, to education providers, business owners and larger commercial organisations.
This unusual mix of clients is also reflected in our teams.
While some of our partners joined us as trainees, many of the people who work here took a different route into the law. For some this is a second career, having spent time in industry. Others pursued alternatives paths to qualification, whether as a paralegal or a Chartered Legal Executive. Plenty studied something other than law at university.
While this means we bring a different perspective to the challenges our clients face, everyone at Langleys shares the same view about what makes a great lawyer.
A belief that behind every legal problem is a real person. That solutions need to work in the real world as well as the legal world. That going the extra mile is the rule, not the exception. That we are the first and last line of defence for our clients' interests.
And, whoever our clients may be, they all come to us for the same reason. Because they know we will look after their business and personal affairs with tenacity, care and common sense.
This approach has seen us steer our clients through some of their most challenging and sensitive situations.
