  • Firm Details

    Dean Orgill is Chief Executive of the firm.

    Having previously led the litigation department, and been part of the executive management team, he has been continuously involved in the management of the firm at Board level, becoming Chairman in 2011 and Chief Executive in 2021.

    In 2022 we joined Ampa - the UK’s leading group of legal and professional services companies. As a result of this merger, our clients now have access to more than 900 experts across the group. These include new service areas such as planning, cyber security, data protection and risk management, to name a few.

    It has always been important to us that we continue to innovate and find ways to better serve our growing client base. Over the last decade, this has included mergers with other firms and developing technological solutions like our LawEasier service.

    The move to join Ampa supports our shared plans for growth and increases our service offering for clients across the South East. Ampa is a group of distinct and respected brands with complementary specialist areas, talented experts, and a united goal to fulfil our clients’ needs and their growth ambitions.

  • Firm Overview

    Exceptional service from outstanding people.

    Your specialist solicitors, serving the South east of England for over 150 years.

    The law can be complicated so we will guide you through each step of the way and give you only the very best advice for your situation.

    We pride ourselves on putting the client first and we’re one of the first law firms to have a service level agreement so that our clients know the minimum standards of service they can expect from us.

    We think we are a little different from other law firms; not only are we good at getting things done for our clients, we are also human, friendly people too. We have specialist solicitors in most areas of the law which means we can get the outcomes you need and when you need them.

    We have been providing legal advice to the people of Sussex for more than 150 years when Wynne Edwin Baxter founded the firm in Lewes. He is reported to have conducted more than 30,000 inquests and served as Her Majesty’s Coroner from 1886 in Sussex, Middlesex, East London and the Tower of London. He was most famous for the Jack the Ripper cases of 1888, and also investigated the deaths of Joseph Merrick, German spies, and First World War bombing fatalities.

    We are committed to delivering outstanding client service through a firm-wide outcome-based approach. Client service commitments include four-hour timescales for responding to emails and telephone calls to ensure our teams deliver a consistent and high-level service.
