Clear legal advice to support business and individuals
Every client an advocate. That's the Wright Hassall way.
The law might be the same across the UK, but do your lawyers have to be?
At Wright Hassall we dare to be different. Our clients tell us that, as well as being exceptional lawyers, we are proactive, diligent, commercial, provide value for money and, above all, we have great people who are fun to work with.
We pride ourselves on the satisfaction levels of our clients. We have a defined way of working across the firm, “The Wright Hassall way”, which sets the service levels to which we aspire. At the end of every matter, we will ask you whether we have met these standards and, if not, we will work with you to ensure that any short-comings are addressed immediately. We do not stand still, we aim to continually improve in everything we do.

"Claire Halle-Smith gave me superb advice and assistance as to the process, drafting of all correspondence and the final response and applying relevant exemptions. Claire's support was invaluable and I went on to recommend Wright Hassall to several other societies"

We act for national and international companies but it is SMEs and individuals across our region who are the focus of our business.
People we help
Rooftop Housing Group’s investment in a technologically innovative, customer-focused IT system proved to be the perfect opportunity to review procurement best practice – before negotiations had even begun.
Having been instructed to advise them on their contract with their IT supplier, we started the process by considering which key issues needed to be resolved before the contract discussions began in earnest and which would ultimately help to ensure the successful implementation of the system.
We realise that our people are our most valuable asset and we understand that providing them with a great environment, challenging work and supported personal development is vital to our success.

Headlines in today’s Daily Mail stated that “2.4M Caught in Covid Cancer Backlog”. It claimed that ‘screening checks, hospital appointments and vital treatment lost during the pandemic’ and was based on figures from Cancer Research UK. The article also quoted figures from the Office for National Statistics that 13,000 more people had died than expected from causes other than Covid.
Following recent Government announcements, the time has come to consider a phased return to places of work. Obviously, given the unprecedented nature of Covid-19, such a process will be riddled with confusion for both employers and employees – how will the return to work operate?
Employment and consultancy contracts often contain clauses restricting an individual’s working activity when they leave a business.
These clauses, ‘post termination restrictive covenants’, typically restrict the ex-staff member’s ability to work in competing businesses, to deal with clients, to try to win business from them, or to poach other staff members.
We are proud to have been operating from our Leamington base for nearly 175 years. We are completely committed to supporting the growth of our region. We measure ourselves not only by whether we have met our own targets but how we have supported the Coventry & Warwickshire region and the business, charities and communities within it.
We act for national and international companies but it is SMEs and individuals across our region who are the focus of our business. This focus plays to our strengths and allows us to deliver services that are unmatched by our competitors.
