About Us

Video

We are a highly successful law firm with major strengths in corporate & commercial, property, dispute resolution and private client services. We also have specialist teams serving sectors such as the lending industry, land development and transport,  and have a strong reputation in health & safety law.

We are ranked 136 in The Lawyer Top 200 law firms in the UK and employ 210 staff at four offices in Southampton (2), Richmond and Lymington.

Each year, we are endorsed in a wide range of practice areas by independent directories Legal 500 and Chambers UK and a number of our partners are recognised as leading individuals within their fields. Most recently, Chambers UK 2009 praised the firm as being a "forward-thinking firm of highly proactive and efficient lawyers".

Our prices are competitive and we have a range of fee structures in place from hourly rates to fixed fee agreements – all tailored to the requirements of the work and the client.

We hold Investor in People accreditation (since 1999) and ISO 9001 (since 1995) for all our legal services.

In May 2007, we created two separate Limited Liability partnerships - Moore Blatch LLP encompasses the firm's professional services - commercial and private client – and Moore Blatch Resolve LLP incorporates our highly successful personal injury and clinical negligence practice.

We believe our success is based on experience, expertise and our practical approach. We take time to listen and understand our clients’ needs and we strive to deliver the best solution quickly and cost effectively.
