Martin Tolhurst Solicitors

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors: legal services from four Kent offices

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors is a firm of solicitors operating from offices in Ashford, Gillingham, Longfield and Sittingbourne, all in Kent. Its work covers both private client and business matters, with residential and commercial property at the centre of the practice alongside family law, wills and probate, disputes, business law, lease extensions and equity release.

The firm presents its approach as legal assistance that is straightforward and understandable, framed around helping clients face life's challenges with confidence. It also states a commitment to supporting local charities and the environment, and describes itself as aiming to be helpful, efficient, affordable and environmentally conscious.

Property work: residential and commercial

Conveyancing is a prominent part of the offering, and the firm publishes pricing and service information specifically for residential conveyancing, alongside equivalent pages for debt recovery and probate. Commercial property is handled as a separate service line, and lease extensions appear as a distinct area of work.

• Residential conveyancing, with published pricing and service details
• Commercial property
• Lease extensions
• Equity release

Family, estates and dispute resolution

Family law and wills and probate are listed among the core services, and probate has its own pricing and service page. Disputes form another service area, and debt recovery is presented with dedicated pricing and service information. Business law completes the range of services advertised on the site.

Fees and case handling

The firm publishes cost information for several areas rather than a single general tariff: residential conveyancing, debt recovery and probate each have their own pricing and service page. Clients are also given online tools to track the progress of a case and to make payments.

Recruitment and training

The site devotes substantial space to careers, describing the firm as hiring and referring to its teams as award-winning. It sets out why people might work for the practice, current opportunities, routes for trainee solicitors and a solicitor apprenticeship. A junior lawyer blog includes first-hand accounts, such as a solicitor apprentice reflecting on the application process after completing a first year at the firm.

Legal and regulatory information

Martin Tolhurst Solicitors is the trading name of Martin Tolhurst Partnership LLP, a limited liability partnership. Its registered office is at 4 Ambley Green, Gillingham Business Park, Gillingham, Kent ME8 0NJ. The partnership is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and a list of members is available for inspection at the registered office.

Offices across Kent

Beyond the registered office in Gillingham, the firm lists offices in Ashford, Longfield and Sittingbourne, each with its own address and telephone and fax numbers. The site also maintains a separate new enquiries line for initial contact.

Commentary and client feedback

The firm publishes a blog and a knowledge hub covering legal developments and practical questions, including recent posts on cohabiting couples and the treatment of common law marriage in England and Wales, and on whether a company can pay legal fees when its owner sells the business. The site also carries a reviews section, which requires cookies to be displayed.
