Who we are

At Lester Aldridge, we are proud of our reputation and history. We can trace our origins back to 1796 and have grown to be one of the largest law firms in the South, with a national reputation in many areas of law. As well as our Bournemouth head office, we also have offices in Southampton and London, meaning we can offer our clients city expertise at regional rates.

We are known for our ability to offer top-quality advice in a straightforward way, making us accessible and easy to deal with, on a regional, national and international basis.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every client has their own unique requirements and we tailor our ways of working by thoroughly understanding their business or personal circumstances.

We believe that through listening to our client’s needs, concerns and expectations that we can deliver a solution that is innovative, realistic and delivers the optimal result for our client.

We understand the importance of giving our clients a high-quality service and are proud to be recognised for this by The Law Society‘s Lexcel accreditation since 2007, the legal practice quality mark for client care, compliance and practice management.

It provides a range of controls and compliance obligations to be deployed within an organisation to manage its information assets and allows external assessment to assist in verifying the effectiveness of those controls.

The firm has also achieved ISO 14001 certification, a globally acknowledged framework for environmental management systems (EMS). This certification demonstrates that Lester Aldridge has established and maintains an effective environmental management system to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. It reflects the firm’s commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainable business practices, focusing on making a positive difference in the legal industry and the community it serves.
