Timms Solicitors

What Timms Solicitors does

Timms Solicitors is a UK-based law firm founded in 1892 and operated as a private partnership by three Partners — Fiona Moffat, Dee Khunkhuna, and Adrian Rose — who oversee more than 60 staff across four Midlands offices: Derby (headquarters, St Michael's, Queen Street), Ashby de la Zouch, Burton Upon Trent, and Swadlincote. The firm serves individual consumers exclusively, delivering specialist legal services across five core practice areas: family law, child care and divorce; residential conveyancing; wills, probate, tax, trusts and estate planning; personal injury (offered on a No Win, No Fee basis); and clinical negligence. It is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 56618) and holds Law Society Lexcel accreditation, 15 consecutive years of Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation, Cyber Essentials certification, and full accreditation with Solicitors for the Elderly.

The firm's technology stack consists of standard legal practice management systems — case management, document management, and time recording — supplemented by a secure online client portal that supports conveyancing quotations and matter management. Website management is outsourced to a third-party developer (Greendog Digital). There is no proprietary technology platform, no public API or SDK, and no mobile application; the firm operates as a traditional professional services practice rather than a technology-led business.

Timms Solicitors generates revenue exclusively through professional legal services fees billed to individual consumers, with pricing structured on a per-matter quote basis dependent on matter type and complexity. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, driven by inbound inquiries via phone, email, and an online contact form, plus referrals, and supported by a self-service online conveyancing quotation tool, content marketing (blog, social media on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, podcasts, video), and community engagement activities across the Midlands. The customer segmentation approach is horizontal — serving the general public across personal legal matters — with no disclosed enterprise, corporate, or institutional clients.

Direct peers

• Flint Bishop Solicitors: A Derby-headquartered East Midlands full-service law firm of comparable size. Directly comparable because both firms operate multi-office Midlands practices offering family law, conveyancing, wills & probate, and personal injury to consumer clients in overlapping geographies.
• Nelsons Solicitors: A long-established East Midlands law firm (Nottingham/Derby) with a similar multi-practice consumer offering. Directly comparable in scale, regional reach, and breadth of family, private client, property, and dispute resolution services to individual clients.
• Wilson Browne Solicitors: A Midlands-based full-service law firm operating across Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, and surrounding counties. Comparable as a same-size regional firm offering family law, conveyancing, wills & probate, and personal injury to individual clients.
• Banner Jones Solicitors: A Chesterfield and Derbyshire-based full-service law firm of similar size and geographic catchment. Directly comparable because it offers the same mix of family law, conveyancing, wills & probate, and personal injury services to Midlands individual consumers.
• BRM Solicitors: A Derby-based regional law firm with comparable practice areas including family, property, wills, and personal injury. Comparable as a direct Midlands competitor serving individual clients in the same primary catchment as Timms.

Broad incumbents

• Freeths LLP: A larger national full-service UK law firm with a significant Midlands presence (Nottingham, Derby, Leicester). Comparable as a broader incumbent competing with Timms across family, private client, conveyancing, and injury work but at greater scale and geographic reach.
• Irwin Mitchell Solicitors: A major national UK law firm with significant East Midlands presence (Sheffield, Nottingham). Comparable as a broader incumbent competing across family, personal injury, clinical negligence, and wills & probate — areas where Timms also operates.
• Shakespeare Martineau LLP: A large UK law firm with a strong East Midlands (Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester) presence. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping family, private client, property, and dispute resolution services to individual clients in the same regional market.

Emerging players

• Settle Group: A digital-first conveyancing and property services platform serving UK home movers and intermediaries. Comparable as an emerging player competing directly with Timms' residential conveyancing service through technology-enabled, lower-cost delivery.
• Co-op Legal Services: An alternative legal services provider offering wills, probate, and family law through digital and telephony channels at fixed fees. Comparable as an emerging player competing for the same consumer-facing private client and family matters at lower price points.
