What does HCR believe, achieve and stand for?

Our passion for people is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the engine that keeps us ticking and inspires us to do our best as we work to improve legal services for everyone, forever. We’re not satisfied unless we’re making a real difference to people’s lives, and we’ll keep working hard on your legal issues to ensure we achieve the best outcome possible for you, your business, and our communities.

As a Times Best Law firm, among the Top 70 UK law firms, we provide the full range of services that you would expect to organisations, business leaders and individuals. However, in our mission to give everyone the opportunity to access a different legal services experience, we take an entrepreneurial approach. We’re flexible and responsive to the needs of our clients and focused on delivering the best outcomes for them. Clients value our honesty and our friendliness. We understand that we’re a key part of our clients’ lives whether personally or for business, so we truly partner our clients, and demonstrate our genuine commitment to them and what they’re trying to achieve, in all that we do. We are pragmatic and don’t ‘sit on the fence’ – clients have confidence in our advice because of our demonstrable experience and the relationships we build with them.

From roots dating back to the 1700s we’ve grown rapidly over recent years, in response to client demand. With eleven offices in England and Wales our well-established presence stretches from west to east, ensuring clients can access a full-service legal offering no matter where they’re located. We’ve expanded significantly in Birmingham, Cardiff and the Thames Valley, and our merger with Hewitsons has led to the addition of two new office locations (Northampton and Milton Keynes), and even further growth in London and Cambridge. With solid connections in the communities we work in, and a track record of delivering legal advice to businesses and individuals throughout the areas we base ourselves in, our clients continue to value our approach to providing legal advice, in the way they need, when they need it.
