Our legal services in Newport, South Wales

Our Newport solicitors offer a wide range of legal services for individuals and families across South Wales, helping you to navigate the various legal challenges you may face during your lifetime.

Wills & Probate

Handling any type of lifetime planning matter can be very challenging. Whether you are making plans for a time when you are no longer around, or you are being tasked with the process of administering the estate of a loved one, having the support of expert Wills and probate solicitors on your side is essential.

Our Wills and probate solicitors in Newport can help you plan for every eventuality from making and updating your Will to ensuring your future needs are met. We can also support you during probate and estate administration when a loved one passes away and help resolve any issues, such as conflicts over the contents of a Will.

Our expertise also extends to handling more specific lifetime planning matters, including Living Wills, Statutory Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney. Our Newport team can also step in to help resolve any Wills and inheritance disputes that may be causing significant disruption. 

Conveyancing

Moving home, or completing any other type of conveyancing transaction, is likely to signal an incredibly exciting point in your life. That said, with this excitement can also come plenty of potential stress, especially if things don’t go ahead as smoothly as you would like. Thankfully, our conveyancing solicitors can be by your side to provide efficient and straightforward guidance.

Our conveyancing solicitors in Newport offer a reliable, cost-effective service to ensure your property plans can go ahead smoothly and on schedule. With extensive experience and a strong knowledge of the local property market, we can help anticipate potential problems and offer fast solutions to any issues that do arise, keeping you legally and financially protected at all times.

In addition to supporting you with the general process for buying or selling a property, we can also advise on your eligibility for remortgaging, the process of Transfer of Title, Help to Buy, and leasehold conveyancing.

We have been recognised by the Law Society for our expertise with residential property matters through the Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS).

Family law

Family law matters can be particularly sensitive for many people. The practical challenges they present are often matched by deep emotional complications, which can make it difficult to come to an immediate agreement. That is where the experience of our specialist family law solicitors will prove invaluable.

Our family law solicitors in Newport can guide you and your family through all of the legal challenges you encounter, ensuring your best interests and those of your loved ones always stay protected. Whether you are getting married, ending a relationship, adopting children or dealing with any other legal issues affecting your family, we provide a friendly, compassionate service backed by exceptional legal expertise.

We have been recognised by the Law Society for Family Law Advanced and Children Law, reflecting our skills and knowledge in these fields. Our team also includes members of Resolution, a group of family lawyers committed to removing the conflict from divorce and family law matters.

Criminal law

We understand how confusing and stressful if you are accused of committing a criminal offence or are under investigation by the police. Speaking to a solicitor in these situations will never undermine your position and in many cases, it can mean the difference between being charged with an offence or having penalties reduced or removed altogether.

Our criminal defence solicitors in Newport are one of the most respected teams in South Wales. We have an exceptionally strong track record of successfully defending our clients against a wide range of criminal charges, including minor motoring offences to the most serious and complex matters, such as serious fraud, regulator offences, large-scale drug conspiracies and murder.

We can also provide support for alleged youth offenders and their families who have been left to deal with the criminal justice system.

Our team have been awarded the Criminal Litigation Accreditation by the Law Society, the recognised quality standard for practitioners in criminal litigation work.
