Over the past 12 months, Stantons Solicitors, based at Wrotham Road, Gravesend, has experienced growth across several key practice areas, particularly family law, conveyancing, probate and private client services.
During this period, the firm acquired two other practices giving it a stronger market presence as well as welcoming additional staff.
With its long, local history since it was founded in 1986, partner Claire Grylls was asked what makes the firm stand out.
She said: “What makes Stantons Solicitors different from many competing firms in Gravesend and wider Kent is the combination of specialist expertise, personal service and local reputation rather than simply being a large general-practice law firm.
“Many local firms offer family law as one department among many. Stantons has historically positioned family law as a core specialism. That creates a different perception of deeper expertise in divorce, children, finances and mediation.
“We have more experience with emotionally sensitive cases, less generalist handling and clients feel they are speaking to specialists rather than rotating case handlers. They frequently mention speaking to the same solicitor, receive fast responses and feel supported with plain-English advice and being treated like people rather than a case number.”
