Integrity. Strategy. Results

We make the complex simple

Welcome to Sterling & Harth. We established this firm with a single goal: to bridge the gap between complex legal jargon and the people it affects. We know that when you call a lawyer, it is usually during a stressful life event. Our job is to shoulder that burden. We listen, we explain your options in plain English, and we fight tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Regulated & Renowned

With over 25 years of combined experience in UK law, our partners are recognized experts in their fields. We are fully authorized and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and hold the Law Society’s Lexcel accreditation for excellence in practice management. From high-net-worth divorces to complex property transactions, we have the track record to handle your case with precision.

Practice Areas

Navigating the legal landscape requires more than just general knowledge; it demands specific, tactical expertise. As a full-service practice, we offer a comprehensive range of legal solutions tailored to both private individuals and commercial entities. From securing your family’s future to protecting your business interests, our specialist departments work in tandem to provide holistic, joined-up advice for every challenge you face.

Family Law

Compassionate support for divorce, separation, and child arrangements. We prioritize mediation and constructive resolution to minimize conflict and cost.

Wills & Probate

Protect your legacy. We draft robust Wills, set up Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA), and assist executors with the administration of estates.

Residential Property

Buying or selling a home? Our CQS accredited conveyancing team ensures your move proceeds quickly, checking every title deed and contract detail.

Employment Law

Advice for employees and employers on settlement agreements, redundancy, and unfair dismissal claims. We protect your rights in the workplace.

The Sterling Standard

For too long, the legal profession has been defined by hourly billing, impenetrable jargon, and a lack of transparency. We believe you deserve better. We are leading the shift towards a modern, client-centric model where accessibility and clarity are paramount. When you choose Sterling & Harth, you aren't just hiring a lawyer; you are partnering with a team that values your peace of mind as much as the legal outcome.

Fixed Fees

We hate "clock-watching" as much as you do. For most services, including Wills and Conveyancing, we offer a fixed fee quote upfront. No hidden costs.

Jargon Free

We don't hide behind Latin phrases. We communicate clearly via email or phone, keeping you updated at every stage of your case.

Proactive Strategy

We don't just react to problems; we anticipate them. Our advice is designed to prevent future litigation and secure your position early.

Client Outcomes

Our reputation is built not just on our legal victories, but on the relationships we forge with the people we represent. The majority of our new business comes from referrals—a testament to the trust we earn and the results we deliver. We are proud to be rated as a top-tier firm in the region, but don't just take our word for it. Here are the experiences of real clients who have trusted us to protect their interests.
