Surrey Hills Solicitors LLP

What Surrey Hills Solicitors LLP does

Surrey Hills Solicitors LLP is an 11-employee limited liability partnership law firm established in 2016 and headquartered at Oak Green House, 250-256 High Street, Dorking, Surrey. The firm delivers legal services across three primary client segments: private individuals and families, commercial entities (companies and charities), and local government bodies including town, parish and district councils across Surrey. It is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA registration 632314) and operates under LLP registration OC413010, holding Law Society Family Law accreditation and Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation (2023).

The firm's core practice areas comprise residential and commercial property law, family law and mediation (including a collaborative single-solicitor divorce service called Resolution Together), employment law, dispute resolution and litigation, wills/LPAs and probate (including contentious probate), company and commercial law, and specialist local government legal services. Four department heads — Rachael Anderson (Family Law, qualified 1995), Sarah Christmas (Property Law, qualified 2003), Kate Jackson (Local Government, 15+ years' specialisation), and Victoria Andrews (Private Client) — lead practice areas alongside supporting solicitors, paralegals and practice manager Anne Fellows. The firm maintains no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard legal practice management and document handling systems.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services fee models: billable hours, fixed fees for defined services (e.g., uncontested divorce packages, mediation sessions at £450 + VAT per hour, document creation at £300 + VAT), and free initial consultations to drive conversion. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct office consultations, phone, email, and website enquiries, supplemented by community sponsorship (Dorking Wanderers Football Club), Mole Valley Chamber of Commerce membership, University of Surrey CLOCK scheme partnership, and events such as divorce support coffee mornings. Distribution is regional, focused on Surrey and Southeast England, with most pricing handled by direct quote rather than public disclosure.
