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.
For years, Clutton Cox has built a wonderful reputation as a trusted, specialist conveyancing practice.
