Glazer Delmar Solicitors is now a part of Kings Solicitors

We are delighted to confirm that Glazer Delmar Solicitors is now a part of Kings Solicitors. Kings Solicitors has built a strong reputation for delivering expert legal services across wills & probate, employment, debt recovery, property & conveyancing, and litigation. As part of this transition, Mr. King has decided to step down from his position as owner of the business.

Stepping into this role is Peter Redmond (former partner of Glazer Delmar, and Managing Director of Clutton Cox Limited, a specialist conveyancing firm regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), bringing a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to maintaining the high-quality legal services that our clients value. To ensure continuity and a smooth transition, Mr. King will remain with the firm in a consultant role for a period, which is greatly appreciated.

This transition presents fantastic opportunities for both our team and our clients by bringing together our collective expertise and strengthening our offering. Kings Solicitors is pleased to have Clutton Cox Limited as its sister company.

While both firms remain separate entities, they share a commitment to outstanding client service and legal expertise. Working together allows us to cross-refer work, support each other, and make the most of our combined strengths to benefit our clients.

Kings Solicitors will continue to offer conveyancing services, while Clutton Cox Limited will act as an overflow for any excess conveyancing work. In turn, Kings will be available to assist with most non-conveyancing queries.

Clients can also continue to use their originating office as a convenient drop-off point for documents, which will be securely transferred to the relevant firm at no extra cost—ensuring both firms maintain their strong local presence.
