Clear legal advice for individuals and small businesses
About us
Hartwell Legal advises individuals and small businesses on the legal questions that come with running a business, owning a home, employing people and changing family circumstances. We help with contracts, property, employment and family matters, explaining each step in plain language so that clients know where they stand and what their options are.
Every matter begins with a conversation. We listen to what has happened, explain what the law means for you and set out the routes you could take and what each involves, so you can decide how to proceed. You deal with the same team throughout, you hear from us at each stage and your matter stays confidential. Whether a client needs a contract reviewed or support through a difficult change, we aim to make the process clear and manageable.
