Tanners Solicitors

What Tanners Solicitors does

Tanners Solicitors LLP is a private UK law firm structured as a Limited Liability Partnership, founded in 1986 by Nicholas Tanner and headquartered in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The firm operates three offices — Cirencester (HQ), Cheltenham, and London (Chelsea Chambers, Fulham Road) — and serves clients principally in the Cotswolds, London and the South West, with additional clients across the British Isles and abroad. It is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (firm number 462152) and holds the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme and Lawyers for Your Business accreditations.

The firm offers a full-service legal practice organised around eight core practice areas: Agricultural Law, Commercial Law, Commercial Property, Residential Property, Family Law, Employment Law, Dispute Resolution, and Wills, Trusts & Probate — the last of which encompasses administration of estates, powers of attorney, trusts, inheritance tax planning, farming estate succession, Court of Protection deputyship, disputed wills, intestacy, and proprietary estoppel claims. Specialist capabilities include STEP-qualified trust and estate practitioners, Resolution members for family law, and individually ranked lawyers in Legal 500 (firm recommended 2021; Heather Taylor 2022 and 2023) and Chambers (Meg Moss). The firm is on the approved panel for almost all major mortgage lenders for remortgaging and transfer of equity transactions.

The business model is traditional professional services: fees generated through billable hours and fixed-fee arrangements (with published pricing pages for probate, residential sale, employment tribunals, and debt recovery). Distribution is principally via local reputation, word-of-mouth, organic search, the Law Society directory, and referral relationships with chartered surveyors, estate agents, and financial advisors. Technology is limited to standard legal practice management systems and the firm website; no proprietary technology, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed. Marketing is supported by a LinkedIn corporate presence and an active Insights/blog library. The firm is independently owned by its partner group with no disclosed parent company, external investment, or institutional funding.
