about us

Taylor Walton is an award winning firm of solicitors based in Harpenden, Luton and St Albans and covering South-East England, providing cost effective legal services to businesses and individuals. We are committed to delivering prompt and practical advice, with highly regarded advisers across our practice areas. The firm was voted UK Corporate Law Firm of the Year 2009 by readers of Acquisition Finance magazine.

We aim to keep our clients one step ahead of the law, including regular free seminars and legal updates. Based strategically close to, but not in London, our lower cost base is passed on to our clients in highly competitive fee rates. Leading independent directory The Legal 500 confirms in it's 2009 edition: 

"As good as, if not better than, a City firm."  and

"Excellent response times...innovative and practical approach"

Another leading independent directory Chambers & Partners, confirms that our clients say:

"One of the huge benefits is that you get easy access to partners with City experience but don't have to pay City firm prices"   and

"Great dedication to its clients"

Our growth has been driven both by the partners and talented young solicitors, many recruited from City law firms. We have key strengths in commercial property, corporate transactions, employment and dispute resolution, together with several specialist areas including technology & outsourcing, professional negligence and business immigration.

Our Private Client team is recognised within the wealth management community for its expertise in dealing with often complex personal matters relating to asset management and estate planning including wills, probate, trusts and inheritance tax. It acts in conjunction with our Family and Conveyancing departments to provide a seamless service for matters involving family law covering divorce and relationship problems, children and financial settlements and home conveyancing for a smooth move.

We count among our clients many banks and other financial institutions and listed companies, entrepreneurs, property developers, national high-street retailers and those in the motor, leisure, media and technology industries. We also act for several public sector bodies and not-for-profit organisations.

We recognise our corporate social responsibility. Taylor Walton takes a very active role in supporting local community initiatives, reducing our impact on the environment and acting responsibly in our buying decisions.
