Incorporating Fortescue Graham & Lloyd

Hedleys started life more than 40 years ago as the Surrey Office of a firm of City lawyers. Now independent, the firm maintains its City expertise and comprises a small dedicated team with a wealth of expertise who provide swift and innovative solutions to legal problems. Hedleys offers practical legal advice across the commercial, public sector and private client areas, and also works in mainland Europe, having particularly strong links with Scandinavia.
Two members of the firm are qualified Notaries Public and members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. Hedleys is also a founder member of the International Practice Group, an organisation of lawyers, tax planners and accountants throughout Europe.
The firm is committed to providing clients with a friendly and highly professional service, working with clients to achieve their own objectives. We employ our skills and abilities both as lawyers and people with a common sense appreciation of our clients’ requirements.
Hedleys continues to grow. In June 2011 Hedleys acquired Fortescue Graham & Lloyd, an independent, family legal practice trading for over 50 years. Please call us to arrange an appointment in one of our offices at a location you prefer.

"Some of our previous experiences with the legal profession have been a bit hit and miss, but we are delighted with Hedleys. The service Sarah Christmas provides is fantastic – she responds very quickly to our calls, much faster than many firms would. Communication is excellent and we value that very highly as we work to tight deadlines and need regular updates. Hedleys provide the kind of all round business model that our company now needs, and we are happy to recommend them."
Marble Hill Property Consultants"The purchase of a large number of property leases and the freehold was planned against a very tight schedule and deadline. Hedleys operated efficiently, without delays, and enabled us to complete our purchase within our timescales."
Roger Charters Birchwood Asset Management Ltd"I was initially recommended to Hedleys by my accountants, and I have been very impressed with the service I have received. Sarah Christmas handled my property dispute extremely efficiently, responding quickly and patiently to my many emails, and making the whole process stress free. I have subsequently worked with Chris Hughes, who has an excellent eye for detail and ensured the ideal outcome for me. I feel in safe hands with Hedleys – they really are focused on my best interests."
Des Reid"I originally chose Hedleys as they were local to where we lived, and I think the fact that I have used them 3 times in relatively quick succession speaks for itself. During this period I also used another solicitor, and this made me realise just how good the Hedley practice is – they provide swift communication and very professional advice, and have reasonable charges. I would definitely recommend them."
John Derry"I first used Hedleys as they were my Uncle’s solicitor. I developed a confident and positive relationship with Chris Hughes and found him to be effective, efficient and plain speaking. I built up a trust with Chris, which I felt was very important, and I knew that my best interests were being secured. Because we communicated mostly via email this made contact easy for both parties, enabling us to look at formal documents and ratify anything. Above all, I was impressed with the quiet efficiency of the processes and I have absolute confidence in Hedleys."
Richard Williams"I found Hedleys by doing a Google search on local solicitors. I chose them because they responded quickly and were well priced. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed! They dealt with everything in a timely and friendly fashion. They were happy to go the extra mile, and I felt they really fought my corner. They were very personable, good value for money, quick and efficient. In fact, I was so pleased with the service I even sent flowers!"
