Solicitors for Melton Mowbray

How We Support Melton Mowbray 

Nelsons has no office in Melton Mowbray. Our nearest team is in Leicester, around 14 miles away, with a direct hourly train taking 15 to 17 minutes. Many clients find a call or video meeting does the job without the journey. We also have offices in Nottingham and Derby. 

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

Legal Services for Melton Mowbray Residents

A full-service firm, so Melton Mowbray clients get the same specialists as anyone walking into our Leicester office — and one team can handle several matters at once. 

Residential Conveyancing 

Roughly one in fifteen sales in Melton Mowbray is a new build, and new builds bring their own issues: developer contracts, long-stop completion dates, management company arrangements and reservation fees. We handle new builds and older stock alike, covering searches, contracts and completion. See our house sales and purchases page for more information. 

Family Law 

Divorce, separation, and arrangements for children. We aim to resolve things by agreement where we can, because that’s usually cheaper and less damaging than court. Where agreement isn’t possible, we’ll say so early rather than running up costs. 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 decides what happens to your property and money after you die, and who sorts it out. Without one, the intestacy rules decide instead, and they often don’t match what people assume. We also handle probate and estate administration after a death. See our Wills and probate page for more information. 

Court of Protection 

Lasting powers of attorney let someone you trust act for you if you later can’t. If capacity has already gone and no power of attorney exists, a Court of Protection deputyship application is the route — slower and more expensive, which is why doing it early matters. See our Court of Protection page for more information. 

Personal Injury 

Compensation after an accident that wasn’t your fault, covering road traffic accidents, workplace injuries and accidents in public places. Time limits apply, usually three years. No-win-no-fee funding is available where you’re eligible. See our personal injury page for more information.

Medical Negligence 

Claims where care fell below an acceptable standard and caused avoidable harm — misdiagnosis, surgical error, delayed treatment. Our team holds a Legal 500 Tier 1 ranking for this work. No-win-no-fee funding is available where you’re eligible. See our medical negligence page for more information. 

Employment Law 

Advice for employees on dismissal, discrimination, redundancy and settlement agreements. Employment tribunal deadlines are short — usually three months less a day — so it’s worth taking advice quickly. See our employee rights page for more information. 

Civil Litigation 

Disputes over Wills, boundaries, professional advice that went wrong, and money owed. We look at whether the 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, retirement and estate planning, and work alongside the legal teams where the two overlap. See our independent financial advice page for more information. 

We also advise local businesses — including the food producers the town is known for — on corporate 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. Call or email

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

2. We route it properly

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

3. A first conversation

We go through what’s happened, what your options are, and what each is likely to cost and how long it takes. 

4. Costs confirmed in writing

If you want to go ahead, we set out the scope and the fees before starting work, so there are no surprises later. 

5. Work begins

You get a named contact and regular updates, so you are 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.
