Solicitors for Hinckley

How We Support Hinckley 

Nelsons has no office in Hinckley. Our nearest team is in Leicester, around 12 miles away, with a direct hourly train taking 16 to 20 minutes. Plenty of clients handle matters by phone and video instead of travelling. We also have offices in Nottingham and Derby. 

Our Leicester office: Provincial House, 37 New Walk, Leicester, LE1 6TU 

Legal Services for Hinckley Residents 

A full-service firm, so Hinckley clients get the same specialists as anyone walking into our Leicester office — and one team can handle more than one matter at a time. 

Residential Conveyancing 

Hinckley sees more sales than most towns its size, which means chains, competing offers and tight timescales are common. We handle searches, contracts, enquiries and completion, and keep you informed at each stage rather than only when something goes wrong. See our house sales and purchases page for more information.

Family Law 

Divorce, separation and arrangements for children. We aim to resolve matters by agreement wherever that’s realistic, because it’s usually cheaper and less damaging than court, and we’ll tell you early if agreement looks unlikely. See our family law page for more information. 

Gov.uk explains the divorce process in outline, though the finances usually need proper advice.

Wills, Trusts & Probate 

A Will sets out what happens to your property and money, and appoints who deals with it. Without one, the intestacy rules apply and often don’t match what people assume. We write and update Wills, advise on inheritance tax, and handle probate after a death. See our Wills and probate page for more information. 

Gov.uk sets out the basics of making a Will — useful background before you speak to anyone. 

Personal Injury 

A claim for compensation after an accident that wasn’t your fault — road traffic accidents, accidents at work, and injuries in public places. Time limits apply, usually three years from the accident. We’ll tell you early whether a claim is worth pursuing, and no-win-no-fee funding is available where you’re eligible. See our personal injury page for more information. 

Medical Negligence 

Claims where healthcare fell below an acceptable standard and caused avoidable harm — misdiagnosis, surgical error, delayed treatment. These rest on independent medical evidence and take time to build properly. Our team holds a Legal 500 Tier 1 ranking for this work, and no-win-no-fee funding is available where you’re eligible. See our medical negligence page for more information. 

Court of Protection 

Lasting powers of attorney, arranged while someone still has capacity, and Court of Protection deputyship applications where that point has already passed. The first is considerably simpler than the second. See our Court of Protection page for more information. 

Employment Law 

Advice for employees on dismissal, discrimination, redundancy and settlement agreements. Tribunal deadlines are short, usually three months less a day, so early advice is worth having. See our employee rights page for more information. 

Civil Litigation 

Contested Wills, boundary disputes, professional negligence and money owed. We assess whether a claim is worth bringing before anyone commits to it. See our civil litigation page for more information. 

Investment Management 

Nelsons has its own FCA-regulated investment team, managing around £350m for clients, covering pensions, retirement and estate planning alongside the legal work. See our independent financial advice page for more information. 

We also advise local businesses on corporate and commercial matters, commercial property, employment and debt recovery. 

How to Get Started 

If you’ve not instructed a solicitor before, here’s how it works: 

1. Get in touch

Call 0800 024 1976 or use the online enquiry form. An outline of the situation is enough to begin. 

2. We route it properly

Your enquiry goes to the team that handles that area of law, rather than to whoever is free. 

3. Talk it through

We set out your options, what each would cost, and how long it’s likely to take. There’s no obligation to go further. 

4. Confirmed in writing

Scope and costs are agreed in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises later. 

5. Kept informed

A named contact, and regular updates as your matter progresses.

• Calls and emails acknowledged promptly, without you having to chase. 

• Regular updates on progress as your matter moves forward.
