About Us

Employing over 200 staff the firm has 36 partners.

We possess a strength and depth of expertise which only a handful of firms can claim in the South East outside of London. Our position as a leading regional law firm is verified by the fact that the firm currently has 9 lawyers recognised as "Leaders in their field" by Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession - a particularly high percentage of the total number of lawyers compared with other firms in the South East, many of whom do not appear at all.

This is central to our philosophy that the successful practise of law depends on the expertise of individual lawyers and the strength of their relationships with their clients.

Our values place our clients at the centre of everything we do and dictate our behaviour.

The firm is made up of 8 practice areas (combined on the basis of the delivery of similar services), namely:

• Corporate & Commercial
• Employment
• Commercial Property
• Dispute Resolution
• Private Client
• Residential Conveyancing
• Clinical Negligence & Personal Injury
• Family

All practice areas are highly regarded within the legal industry and we enjoy ongoing corroboration of this by the leading legal directories.

As you would expect from a firm run along modern management lines the firm is managed by a Management Team which defines the strategy and manages the delivery of the firm's future vision. Lawyers are freed up to concentrate their expertise on delivering positive and effective results for our clients. As a result of this structure we are able to satisfy and deliver results in line with the Lexcel accreditation standards.

The Guinness Book of Records lists Thomson Snell & Passmore as the "Most Durable Firm". We enjoy a rich heritage. Our reputation is based on a tradition of client care going back to 1570.
