Cripps LLP is a leading law firm based in the South East providing a wide range of legal services. They advise many high profile clients including plcs, financial institutions, private companies, local and national government, charities and individuals. Their simple and effective strategy of concentrating resources in a single regional centre of excellence enables them to provide the maximum benefit to their clients. A high quality service in terms of breadth and depth is ensured by a long term commitment to recruitment and they consistently attract high profile solicitors from leading City firms. The firm was one of the first to secure accreditation to the Law Society's quality assurance standard, Lexcel. With their Tunbridge Wells headquarters just 45 minutes from London, the firm's low overheads allow them to provide this quality service at outstanding value for money. Investing heavily in IT enables them to maximise the efficiency and speed of communications. Clients benefit from innovative services and information delivered via a secure extranet. They have also established an excellent reputation for their imaginative and commercial approach to providing solutions for clients, as exemplified by their involvement with Lovells in the ground-breaking Mexican Wave project for Prudential Property Investment Managers. They are structured into client focused, industry sector groups to promote a strong ethos of client service and ensure that their solicitors are not only excellent legal practitioners but also experts in specialist business sectors.
