Kew Law LLP

Kew Law LLP: solicitors and conveyancers across Essex and Suffolk

Kew Law LLP describes itself as a law firm built to depart from the conventional model, offering personal and business legal services to clients in Essex and Suffolk. Its stated approach is to keep clients in direct contact with the solicitor or conveyancer handling their matter, without call centres or team leaders acting as intermediaries. The firm presents its services as price-competitive and highlights access to what it calls its own digital platforms.

The practice says it maintains specialists in each of its areas who work together on individual matters, and it offers meetings in person at its offices or by video call when travel is not possible.

Personal legal services

The firm's personal-side work covers residential property, family law, wills, probate and the Court of Protection, alongside lasting powers of attorney.

• Residential property: buying, selling, mortgaging and transferring residential property. The site also lists specific residential instructions such as conveyancing quotes, equity release, independent legal advice, lease extension quotes and Help to Buy redemption.
• Family: divorce proceedings, financial settlements and disputes concerning children.
• Wills: will preparation tailored to the client's circumstances.
• Probate: assistance in carrying out the wishes of deceased clients.
• Court of Protection: appointment of a deputy, approval of gifts and statutory wills.
• Lasting Power of Attorney: LPAs covering property and financial affairs as well as health and welfare decisions.

Services for businesses and employers

On the commercial side, Kew Law advises on commercial property transactions, including buying, selling and leasing. It also acts for small and medium-sized businesses in acquisitions and disposals through its commercial and corporate practice. A separate employment service provides advice and support to both employers and employees facing problems at work, and the firm handles settlement agreements within that area. Disputes and litigation are handled by a department the firm describes as experienced across a range of legal fields.

Twelve offices and remote consultations

The firm states that its solicitors operate from twelve locations across Essex and Suffolk. The offices named are Braintree, Burnham-on-Crouch, Chelmsford, Clacton, Colchester, Hadleigh, Halstead, Maldon, South Woodham Ferrers, Sudbury, Wickford and Witham. Prospective clients using the firm's callback form can select one of these offices or an online option, and the same list of locations appears in the service-selection form.

Beyond in-person appointments, Kew Law offers virtual meetings by video call for clients who are unable to travel to an office.

Guides and recruitment

The firm publishes plain-language guides intended to explain complex legal processes, including a guide to the conveyancing process, a first-time buyer guide and an explanation of lasting powers of attorney. It also runs a newsletter for updates and maintains a careers section describing several routes to qualification, stating that it supports candidates through each stage, together with a listing of current vacancies.
