Crane and Walton Solicitors

The basis for a successful business is often found in the reputation of a company. Crane and Walton Solicitors have a reputation for personal service combined with highly trained expert lawyers who can provide advice in any area of the law. The company was first founded more than one hundred years ago by Mr Charles Crane, the grandfather of one of the current partners. After opening the first office in Coalville, Crane and Walton Solicitors expanded and two more offices were opened in Leicestershire. The Leicester office deals with commercial and residential property law and contracts, the complicated area of charity law and has specialists in agricultural law. In addition to these matters, Crane and Walton Solicitors provide advice on wills, trusts and probate from this office. The offices in other towns also deal with specialist areas of the law.

Crane and Walton Solicitors was original a partnership but recently the business structure was changed and it became an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). This new structure will assist in the expansion of the company's business and assist it in providing a better service for all clients. Crane and Walton Solicitors hold accreditation from Lexcel and CQS. Both these bodies operate from within the Law Society. Independent assessors provide reports on customer satisfaction and accreditation is awarded only to the best firms. Awards are valid for three years. Crane and Walton Solicitors have always scored extremely highly on customer satisfaction surveys and this is due to the personal service which the company offers.

Crane and Walton Solicitors are engaged with the local community in which they are situated. One of the partners from the Ashby office acts as a clerk for the Sir John Moore Foundation, a charity which raises funds for developing community care and which also helps to preserve listed buildings. The company also pays sponsorship funds to the local cricket team, the Ashby Hastings Cricket Club. Crane and Walton Solicitors is aware of its responsibilities as a local reputable business and is keen to be involved in the community. This is another aspect of the personal touch that this company brings to all its activities.
