Our Community
Battens Solicitors has been at the centre of Dorset and Somerset life for more than 300 years. With offices in Yeovil, Sherborne, Dorchester and Weymouth, we are one of the largest law firms in the area.
We are a very focussed, dynamic, evolving and fast growing firm, who embrace new ideas and creative thinking and aim to deliver fresh solutions to every one of our clients. This philosophy played a major role in us winning the Best Professional Services award for the region in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Contrary to what you might be thinking, we are not in the back of beyond!
Somerset and Dorset bring together a mix of beautiful English countryside and picturesque coastline, along with thriving industry and budding entrepreneurs.
Whether you are looking for family days out or a great night out, Somerset and Dorset offer relaxation and adventure and there is something here for everyone.
The area is home to the world famous Glastonbury Festival, The Royal Bath & West Agricultural Show and the Weymouth Sailing Regatta, to name a few! Weymouth is also the host of the 2012 Olympic sailing events and as such there is a definite commercial buzz in the area.
If you are looking at relocating with your family, there are many public and state schools across Somerset and Dorset, providing education from pre-school through to A’levels. Kings College, Millfield School, Leweston School and the Thomas Hardye School, have reputations amongst the leading schools in the country.
Wherever you settle in these two counties you will always be within close proximity to a station, with convenient travel links to Bath, Bristol, Bournemouth, Exeter and London.
Bristol, Exeter and Bournemouth airports serve a remarkable number of both domestic and international destinations and have the convenience of smaller queues through the departure gates, than any of the London airports.

Kate Golding - Solicitor
Civil Litigation Team
I am a Senior Assistant Solicitor in the Civil Litigation Team specialising primarily in personal injury claims. I advise Claimants on all aspects of injury litigation, including claims for injuries arising from accidents at work, road traffic accidents and accidents in public places. In addition, I handle a variety of general civil disputes ranging from inheritance claims to contract disputes.
I rejoined Battens in June 2007, having completed my training contract here back in 2001. Upon qualifying, I spent 5½ years working for two well known local firms as part of a team specialising in Defendant Personal Injury/Insurance Law and advising insurance companies, local authorities and self-insureds on all aspects of defending injury litigation before returning to Battens.
I decided to return to Battens both to widen my expertise in dealing with general civil litigation but also to put my experience on the other side of the fence to good use in giving realistic advice to injured Claimants and obtaining for them the best results possible.
Whilst the working ethos and challenging personal goals expected by Battens are similar to those in the firms I have previously worked for, what I particularly enjoy about working for Battens is the friendly and family feel of the firm generally which makes every employee from director down to office junior feel appreciated and motivated to do their bit to make the firm a success.
