After 45 successful years, and in order to better serve the needs of our clients and the organisations we work alongside, the partners of Direction Law have decided to restructure the business.
In place of one law firm which offered a range of services, we have now set up three specialist firms, each offering a narrow range of services, in order to provide clients with a more tailored, bespoke service.
Details of the three firms are shown on this page, just click the relevant logo to be taken to their website.
New clients
Direction Law is no longer taking on any new work. Please, however, click the “Get a Quotation” link to be directed to one of the three new companies who are now undertaking the work that would previously have been carried out by Direction Law.
Previous clients
If you are a previous client who would like to use us on a new matter, then please follow the procedure for new clients. If you would like any information regarding an archived file then please Contact us with your enquiry and we will be pleased to assist.
Please note that conveyancing files are destroyed after 7 years, so if your query relates to a property transaction which took place more than 7 years ago we will unfortunately not be able to help.
Existing clients
Direction Law aren’t dealing with any current transactions, however we are still dealing with the registration of purchase transactions which completed prior to the end of September 2023. Given the lengthy delays at the Land Registry, we do not expect the last of these to have been completed until mid 2027.
Useful email addresses
If you have a query concerning an archived file (or a purchase that is still being registered at the Land Registry) then please use the relevant email from the following list:
