About the firm
A well-run practice that treats you like an adult.
Bailey & Co was founded in 1998 on one conviction: that people deserve to understand their own legal matters. Twenty-eight years and two offices later, that is still the whole idea.
How we work
Three things we will not compromise on
Plain language
If you cannot understand a letter we send you, that is our failure, not yours. We write like people, not like lawyers.
Honest about cost
You get a written quote before we start and a warning before anything changes. No surprises at the end.
The right person
You are matched to the solicitor who does this work every day, and they stay with you from the first call to the last.
