Middletons Solicitors

What Middletons Solicitors does

Middletons Solicitors is the trading name of Middleton & Upsall LLP, a Limited Liability Partnership registered in England and Wales (company number OC308993) and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA number 424168). Founded in January 1962 by Eustace Middleton and Michael Upsall in Warminster, the firm has grown through inorganic moves, including the 2006 acquisition of Keith A Pearce and the 2016 merger with DBB of Andover and Stockbridge, into a three-office regional practice covering Warminster, Amesbury and Stockbridge across Wiltshire and Hampshire.

The firm delivers legal services across five practice areas: Private Client (Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Trusts, Estate Administration, Court of Protection); Residential Property (conveyancing for sale, purchase and remortgage, plus boundary and right-of-way disputes); Commercial Property (auction sales and purchases, leases, option and overage agreements, development land); Dispute Resolution (property disputes, Will challenges, professional negligence, employment); and Mediation (civil and family). The firm holds the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation and several fee earners are members of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery rests on fee earners operating from physical offices, supported by a Squarespace-hosted website and direct phone and email channels.

Revenue is generated through professional legal fees on a per-matter basis, with hourly billing (rates ranging from £125 for support staff to £295–£300 for Solicitor-Advocates and senior partners) and fixed fees for standardised services such as Wills (from £400), LPAs (from £650), and residential conveyancing (£1,400–£1,950 by price band and tenure). Customer acquisition is primarily sales-led via local reputation, word-of-mouth referrals and organic search, serving private individuals and small commercial clients in Wiltshire and Hampshire.
