Longmores Solicitors

What Longmores Solicitors does

Longmores Solicitors LLP is a private limited liability partnership and full-service UK law firm established in 1819 and headquartered at 24 Castle Street, Hertford, Hertfordshire. The firm is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (number 606996) and is wholly owned by its members, with no external investment, private equity or venture capital ownership. It serves both business clients (commercial property, company commercial, business disputes, employment, property litigation, rural land) and private individuals (family law, residential conveyancing, wills and probate, private client, personal disputes, leasehold enfranchisement) across Hertfordshire and surrounding counties.

The firm operates a single physical office model supplemented by digital channels, including The Longmores App client portal for communication and document sharing, Stripe-powered online payments via a Pay Online page, and a WordPress-based website with Google Analytics 4 tracking and reCAPTCHA security. Underlying technology is described as standard legal practice management systems; the new Managing Partner (appointed April 2026) is explicitly leading an AI project and exploring replacement of the practice management system. Service quality is backed by Lexcel, Conveyancing Quality Scheme, Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme, Customer Service Excellence and Cyber Essentials+ accreditations, plus Legal 500 Top Tier firm status.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hourly billing for complex matters (commercial litigation, family law disputes, commercial property transactions) and publicly disclosed fixed fees for standardised services (residential conveyancing, probate, wills, debt recovery, employment tribunal). Distribution is sales-led, combining in-person consultations at the Hertford office, online enquiry forms, a Business Breakfast Club events series, content marketing via blog articles, social media on LinkedIn and Facebook, and email newsletters segmented by practice area. Professional referrals and Legal 500 directory rankings drive top-of-funnel credibility, while the Longmores App supports existing-client engagement.
