Nelsons Solicitors

In 1983, Nelsons Solicitors was founded by Tim Hastings and two other solicitors in a modest Nottingham office. Since then, our law firm has experienced significant growth and is now considered one of the foremost legal establishments in the East Midlands, with offices in Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester. We offer expert support and guidance to businesses, individuals, and families in need of legal and investment-related counsel.

At Nelsons, we seek to empower our clients, giving them a voice and representing them to the fullest extent. Our core values, including excel, achieve, innovate, and together, serve as the foundation of our approach to delivering services and fulfilling our purpose. Our desire to improve ourselves continuously to provide better services to our clients has been a constant throughout our evolution.

We have experienced organic growth and acquired several local firms through strategic mergers and acquisitions across the East Midlands. In 1999 and 2000, we expanded into Derby and Leicester, respectively, and within 18 months, acquired seven local firms.

We have always sought to challenge the traditional norms associated with the legal industry. In 2010, we became one of the first law firms in the region to become a Limited company. Then, in 2014, we received Alternative Business Structure (ABS) status, which enables our employees, including those in management, conveyancing, and investment management teams, to become Partners.

Our specialist expertise and the depth of our resources enable us to offer services to other solicitors through Fusion Legal, which is a mutually beneficial referral and support network for law firms.

We are recognised by leading, independently researched publications, including The Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, and The Lawyer’s UK 200 Annual Report of the UK’s largest 200 law firms.

Our commitment to the concept that all aspects of our operations and services should be of the highest quality is unwavering, and we have been accredited by Lexcel. This quality mark recognises the commitment of everyone at Nelsons to providing clients with the superior service which they are entitled to expect.
