About Us

For more than 300 years, Battens Solicitors Limited has been at the centre of Dorset and Somerset life. Now, with offices in Yeovil, Sherborne, Dorchester and Weymouth, we are one of the largest firms in the area with over 20,000 clients.

As you would expect, traditional values like honesty, openness and trust are very important to us. This is reflected in the fact that 90% of our business comes from existing clients and word-of-mouth recommendations. But we're also very much focused on the future. A dynamic, evolving and fast growing Legal 500 firm, we embrace new ideas and creative thinking. We enjoy challenging 'the way it's always been done' to develop and deliver fresh solutions to every one of our clients.

Those clients also have access to specialist expertise across a number of key areas including property litigation, commercial property, planning, agriculture, family and civil litigation. Certainly, the sheer depth and breadth of our services played a major part in our winning the Best Professional Services award for the region for the last 3 years.

While we strive to bring a refreshing approach to the people we work for, that's equally true of the people we work with. You'll find a strong team ethos here; we support each other - and firmly believe that pulling together towards shared goals doesn't just make a successful company. It ensures that the working day is a whole lot more enjoyable too.
