About Longmores

Trusted since 1819

Much has changed since Longmores was founded in 1819.  Our values and our commitment to clients have not.

Although the geographic reach of our work is greater than it was two centuries ago, we remain involved in the Hertfordshire community.  Our employees have always made time to give back, through public service and charitable activities.  Charles Elton Longmore, a descendant of our original founder, served as Chairman of the County Council for over 35 years and in 1914 he was made President of the Law Society.  Other partners have served as county coroners, judges, sheriffs and trustees.  We made our biggest commitment to charitable giving in 2025 by opening an endowment fund with the Hertfordshire Community Foundation that will support local causes far into the future.

Our hardworking spirit has been passed on from generation to generation.  It is perhaps best typified by Bertie Cull, who during World War II kept Longmores afloat almost single-handedly with clients always forefront of his mind.  An article in the Hertfordshire Mercury praised his extraordinary efforts, saying that “Bertie would work daily from 8 am until after midnight. He did this seven days a week, and every week for six years”.

The firm continues these traditions today with a progressive approach to leadership and career development alongside an enduring dedication to clients shared by every member of the team.

By working collaboratively with clients and bringing together expertise from across the firm we deliver the best possible outcomes.  From advice for businesses and employers, on property matters across commercial and residential, to divorce and family matters, inheritance or moving house, we have an expert you can trust to put your interests first.
