Tayntons LLP

What Tayntons LLP does

Tayntons LLP - the trading name of Tayntons (LS) Limited, a private limited company registered in England (Companies House 05928070) and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under regulation number 449195 - is one of the oldest law firms in Gloucester, tracing its origins to 1857 and operating continuously for over 165 years. The firm is a full-service solicitors' practice delivering legal services for both individuals and businesses from a single headquarters at 5th Floor, Llanthony Warehouse, The Docks, Gloucester. Core practice areas span residential conveyancing, family law (including divorce and child arrangements), personal injury and clinical negligence, probate and estate administration, employment law, dispute resolution, court of protection and deputyship, care proceedings, health and social care law, professional negligence, GDPR and data protection claims, wills/trusts/lasting powers of attorney, and a commercial practice covering commercial property, commercial litigation, company and commercial work, and debt recovery. Headcount is 51-100 staff, organized around a Managing Partner (Andrew Ollerenshaw), a Practice Director (Samantha Pennington), four partners in family, child care, and personal injury/clinical negligence, and heads of department for conveyancing, litigation, and private client.

The firm's technology layer is intentionally lean and productized around client experience rather than AI: it operates a proprietary mobile app launched in 2024 (available on Google Play and Apple App Store) that supports conveyancing clients with 24/7 case access, milestone tracking, digital forms, push notifications, and facial-recognition-enabled ID verification, plus an online payment portal powered by Legl accepting all major cards and Apple Pay. The firm holds multiple regulatory credentials - Lexcel Practice Management Accreditation (since 2005), the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, Children Law Accreditation, and Cyber Essentials certification - and operates within standard UK solicitors' professional services economics rather than a software/technology monetization model.

Revenue is generated through professional legal fees with billing structures varying by practice area: fixed-fee conveyancing, fixed-fee initial consultations (typically £150 + VAT for dispute resolution and employment; £75 + VAT for family), percentage-based probate fees (2.5-3% of gross estate), and no-win-no-fee arrangements for personal injury and clinical negligence. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer from the Gloucester office with nationwide reach for matters such as care proceedings; client acquisition leans on referrals (the firm states existing clients are the greatest source of new business), local SEO targeting Gloucestershire suburbs, organic social on Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter/Instagram, content marketing and newsletters, a community networking group (the Tayntons Curry Club), and third-party review platforms (464 reviews at 4.8/5 on ReviewSolicitors with 95% value-for-money and 96% satisfaction).
