Dutton Gregory

What Dutton Gregory does

Dutton Gregory LLP is a UK-based law firm founded in 1947, operating as a limited liability partnership with seven offices across the South of England and into the North (Bournemouth, Chandler's Ford registered office, Liverpool, London Mayfair, Southampton, Winchester, and Woking). The firm delivers legal services across three core practice areas — Property (residential, commercial, lettings & revenue, litigation), Family (family law, child protection & adoption, personal injury, tax/wills/probate), and Business (commercial litigation, corporate & commercial, employment for employers and employees, immigration for business) — serving both private individuals and SMEs/commercial clients. The firm carries a full stack of Law Society accreditations (Lexcel, Family Law Advanced, Children Law Panel, Personal Injury, Conveyancing Quality Scheme, Higher Courts Rights) and has been recognized by Legal 500.

The business model is a traditional professional services model: fee income is generated through billable hours, fixed-fee arrangements for defined matters (Wills, conveyancing, probate), and contingency ('no win, no fee') for personal injury claims. Initial consultations start at £150 plus VAT; pricing is publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is sales-led, combining reputation, local office presence, referrals, and a multi-channel marketing engine spanning news/blog content, events/webinars, video library, and organic social. The 2023 merger with Mackrell Turner Garrett extended the firm into Woking/Surrey, and Liverpool/London openings expanded national reach.

Dutton Gregory operates as a partner-owned LLP with no external PE/VC ownership, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Technology footprint is described as a standard legal practice stack (case management, CRM, digital client intake) with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities or proprietary software products — the firm is a service-delivery business, not a technology company. Headcount sits between 101–250.
