Clutton Cox Solicitors has undergone numerous changes over its 200 year history.
Thomas Jacques started it all when he set up his law practice in Bristol in 1794.
In 1895 Walter Clutton added his name to the company, but it was not until 1967 when Edgar Roy Cox moved to Yate that the name Clutton Cox & Co was adopted.
Paul Hajek joined Clutton Cox & Co in 1985, a few years after its move to Chipping Sodbury. Since 1991 the firm has been known simply as Clutton Cox.
The tradition of the small law firm catering for the needs of the local community by offering the benefit of a specialist personal service is a tradition begun by Thomas Jacques which we are proud to continue.
At Clutton Cox, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality legal services. We pride ourselves on being approachable yet professional, reliable, and consistently striving to exceed client expectations.
Each solicitor has specialisms in particular areas of conveyancing, ensuring expert advice and representation. Our deep-rooted knowledge of South Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds allows us to provide personalised services tailored to your unique needs whilst our staff are also experienced in dealing with transactions originating from all parts of the country including Cambridgeshire, Dorset, Devon, London and Oxfordshire to name but a few.
Posted on Google Gail FortnumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service from Julie and Leonard has been exemplary. Julie showed empathy and created a calm atmosphere when we were extremely stressed from the incompetence of our buyers solicitors. She talked us through each stage of our sale and purchase in a clear precise way and was happy to chase our buyers solicitors constantly when we were at a point of giving up. It’s because of Julie and Leonard we now own the house of our dreams. We can’t thank you enough. We would recommend to anyone.Posted on Google Steve RomanowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clutton Cox has made what is usually a stressful time, into a relatively straightforward process. Which isn’t an easy to achieve. Jade was amazing throughout the process and where the understandable hiccups appeared everything was explained clearly, including the legal jargon. I would highly recommend Jade and Clutton Cox.Posted on Google HGV Property solutions ltdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nikki was excellent, having had to move solicitor due to incompetences at a competitor. I was very pleased to see how Nikki and the team dealt with four property transfers after a divorce and delivered this within a sensitive timescale. Pricing was very clear from outset and no additional unexpected fees.Posted on Google BETTY MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Clutton Cox recently acted for me in the sale of a retirement flat and did a great job! Nikki Ashworth and her team were very friendly and efficient, always responding to my emails and phone queries on the same day, and always knowing where we were in the sale process. I will definitely use CC again.Posted on Google Rachel CollardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jade handled our sale and purchase and has been absolutely fantastic throughout. Jade is very proactive and overall they've been very quick transactions. Jade was very thorough, approachable and a pleasure to deal with. The other ladies in the office were very friendly and helpful too. From someone who works in the industry, you really do get what you pay for and I am very glad to have used Clutton Cox for the second time and would highly recommend them.Posted on Google Yousaf WaheedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
