Preston Redman

What Preston Redman does

Preston Redman LLP is a privately held, full-service UK law firm headquartered at Hinton House in Bournemouth, Dorset, tracing its origins to 1876 and operating as a Limited Liability Partnership authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (number 488464). The firm serves both individual/personal clients and business/commercial clients across more than thirty practice areas, organised into two broad service lines: business services (commercial property, company commercial, corporate finance, development and planning, employment law, dispute resolution, estate and agricultural law, intellectual property, notarial, and commercial debt recovery) and personal services (residential conveyancing, family and children law, wills/probate/trust and tax, criminal law, driving offences, employment law for individuals, residential leasehold, and personal notarial).

Underlying delivery is partner-led and human-capital intensive rather than technology-led. The firm operates from a single Bournemouth office with telephone, email, video-conference, and walk-in channels, and is supported by a structured two-year training programme, links with Bournemouth University for apprenticeships, and a documented culture of internal promotion (with several current partners having started as secretaries or paralegals). It holds an unusually dense accreditation stack including Lexcel, CQS, Resolution, STEP, Family Law Advanced, Criminal Litigation, Cyber Essentials, and Risk and Compliance Foundation and Advanced, and is a member of the Property Litigation Association and Bournemouth and District Law Society.

Revenue is generated entirely from professional legal fees, structured as fixed fees for routine matters (such as some tenancy disputes, residential possession, and certain debt recovery) and hourly rates or quote-based pricing for more complex disputes and bespoke transactions. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, with clients acquired through Google Search and paid ads, Bing, LinkedIn, Instagram, Law Society listings, traditional directories (Thomson Local, Yell.com), and personal/professional recommendations. The firm does not have a mobile app, no disclosed API, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed revenue figures.
