Holmes & Hills is a leading firm of solicitors in Essex providing specialist legal services to the South East and East Anglia. Established over 200 years ago, Holmes & Hills have continuously adapted to a changing environment and the changing needs of clients in order to continue offering only the best in expert legal advice, support and representation.

Over time, Holmes & Hills Solicitors has become firmly woven into the fabric of local life in North Essex, sponsoring local groups, organisations and events as well as arranging our own – the Holmes & Hills Bike Ride – for the benefit of local charities.

When the firm that later became known as Holmes & Hills first started offering legal advice to the people of North Essex, solicitors were much like doctors, general legal practitioners that would look after all the legal needs of a particular client.

As time has passed and legislation has developed to affect more areas of everyday life, the need for legal support has grown throughout society. In consequence, firms of solicitors have needed to specialise, hence why we have departments for family law, personal matters, property and planning, business and employment issues, and litigation and personal injury.

Across our departments we are able to offer the breadth of service that was once delivered by generalists but with the expertise to cope with the demands of highly specialist areas. Our team of 70 staff take a pragmatic approach to providing a full range of quality legal services to individuals, families and businesses across the region. Through forward thinking and a wealth of experience, we aim to provide legal services that exceed expectations.

Holmes & Hills is client focused and committed to continuously improving the services you receive, dedicating our attention to the needs of clients. These commitments have earned the firm Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society – Lexcel accredited firms are formally recognised for their client focus and customer service.

When presenting the Lexel award, Law Society President Paul Marsh commented:

‘By successfully gaining Lexcel accreditation, Holmes & Hills LLP is proving their commitment to delivering a high quality service. The Law Society’s Lexcel standard is a prestigious achievement for any practice. Clients can feel reassured that they will receive a service which is first class.’
