Cambridge Solicitors | HCR Hewitsons

Your local Cambridge solicitors

Our recent merger with Hewitsons, creating HCR Hewitsons, adds 175 years’ experience and new strengths to firm foundations, giving our clients the full range of legal services they need for their business and personal lives. The knowledge of the local market that Hewitsons’ Cambridge solicitors have, combined with our corporate deal making, commercial contracts and IP law specialisms is particularly focused on the needs of Cambridge’s thriving scientific, biotech and robotics community.

Our clients want someone who is in their corner, whom they can trust to give them solid, reliable advice which takes them forward. We find solutions to overcome apparent obstacles and give you a simple action plan to get you where you want to be.

It’s your experience with us that we care about. Our advice will be appropriate and relevant to you and your circumstances.

Working with our Cambridge clients we know that they like our firm-wide approach which includes partner involvement on all matters and honesty at every level, especially fees, which we agree up front.

We want you to want to choose us.

How can we help?

Our Cambridge solicitors offer a wide range of services for both individuals and businesses.

For organisations in the area, our lawyers specialise in commercial law, commercial property, corporate law, employment, restructuring and insolvency and dispute resolution services.

For individuals, we offer help and advice on family law, divorce law, residential conveyancing, wills, trusts and estate planning. Our Cambridge team of solicitors also specialise in alternate dispute resolution and family mediation.

We can call on the expertise of leading solicitors handling in agriculture and rural affairs, defence and security, education, construction and engineering, health and social care and technology.

The annual Chariots of Fire relay race around Cambridge raised over £61,237.60 this year, with 1,600 runners taking to the streets to support the Arthur Rank Hospice. Runners of all kinds – from those seasoned in marathons to fun-runners in dinosaur costumes – thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as the Cambridge Independent reported.
