Tozers Solicitors

What Tozers Solicitors does

Tozers Solicitors (trading as Tozers LLP) is a UK limited liability partnership and full-service regional law firm headquartered in Exeter, Devon, with two additional offices in Newton Abbot and Teignmouth. Founded in 1785, the firm operates across three service lines — Business Services, Personal Services, and Sector-specific Services — serving both commercial clients (employment law, commercial property, dispute resolution, company commercial, IP) and individual clients (family law, residential property, wills and probate, medical negligence).

The firm's commercially distinctive practices are clinical negligence, where it operates as a Band 1 Chambers & Partners and Top Tier Legal 500 team handling catastrophic injury claims with a record £19.92 million settlement, and the parks sector, where it serves as the national legal adviser to HARPA (Holiday and Residential Park Association). Other sector verticals include charities and social enterprises, farms and estates, affordable housing, and local authorities. The firm employs 101–250 people and is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services billing — billable hours for legal advice and representation — augmented by a no-win, no-fee pricing model for medical negligence claims. The firm invests in content marketing, email newsletter capture via HubSpot, and a multi-platform social media presence as top-of-funnel demand generation, with physical offices as the primary conversion channel. Technology infrastructure is standard for the legal sector (HubSpot CRM, Google Analytics, review and session tools), with no disclosed AI/ML products or proprietary technology.
