Solicitors for Loughborough

How We Support Loughborough 

Nelsons has no office in Loughborough. Our nearest team is in Leicester, with direct trains every 30 minutes taking just 9 to 10 minutes — the quickest connection of anywhere we cover. Even so, many clients handle everything by phone and video. We also have offices in Nottingham and Derby. 

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

Legal Services for Loughborough Residents

Whatever stage you’re at, the same specialists are available as to anyone walking into our Leicester office. 

Residential Conveyancing 

Buying or selling a home, including first purchases with a gifted deposit, a shared ownership scheme or a guarantor arrangement. We handle searches, contracts and completion, and explain each stage as it comes rather than assuming you already know how it works. See our house sales and purchases page for more information. 

Employment Law 

Advice for employees on dismissal, discrimination, redundancy and settlement agreements. If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, take advice before signing — the terms are usually negotiable, and tribunal deadlines are short, generally three months less a day. See our employee rights page for more information. 

Family Law 

Divorce, separation and arrangements for children, alongside cohabitation agreements for couples buying together without marrying — which matters, because unmarried partners have far fewer automatic rights than most people assume. See our family law page for more information. 

Gov.uk explains the divorce process in outline, though the financial side usually needs proper advice. 

Wills, Trusts & Probate 

A first Will often follows a first home. Without one, the intestacy rules decide who inherits, and an unmarried partner receives nothing automatically however long you’ve lived together. We write and update Wills 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 — worth reading 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, made while someone still has capacity, and deputyship applications where that point has passed. Often arranged for a parent rather than yourself. See our Court of Protection page for more information. 

Civil Litigation 

Disputes over money owed, deposits, professional advice that went wrong, boundaries and contested Wills. We look at 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. They advise on pensions, savings and longer-term planning, and work alongside the legal teams where the two meet. 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 

Most people instructing a solicitor for the first time aren’t sure what happens. It’s simpler than it looks: 

1. Call or email

0800 024 1976, or use the online form. A rough outline is enough to start; you don’t need paperwork ready. 

2. Matched to the right team

Your enquiry goes to the specialists in that area, not to a general enquiries desk. 

3. A first conversation

We go through what’s happened, what your options are, and what each is likely to cost. No obligation to go further. 

4. Costs confirmed in writing

If you want to proceed, we set out the scope and the fees before starting work. 

5. Work begins

You get a named contact and regular updates, so you’re not left wondering where things stand. 

What You Can Expect From Us 

Every client is covered by our Client Service Charter. It sets out what we commit to, in writing: 

• A named contact who handles your matter, with cover arranged if they’re away. 
• Calls and emails acknowledged promptly, without you having to chase. 
• Regular updates on progress as your matter moves forward. 
• A choice on how you pay, explained before we start. 
• Supervision by a Partner or Legal Director on every matter.
