Welcome to the plainlaw website. I hope that it will provide you with the information you need about the firm and the work we do.

We specialise in all aspects of property, housing and construction law. We chose the name plainlaw as it is our aim to provide clear, straightforward advice. Our current and future commitment is to provide a responsive City style service (all our solicitors trained in the City) but at provincial rates. We try to anticipate client needs and work with clients to drive transactions through. Providing a good client service is important to us - delivering commercial solutions that reflect your needs.

We are delighted that this service continues to be recognised by The Legal 500 which has once again selected plainlaw as one of the leading firms for property work in the Thames Valley, Berks, Oxon, M4 / M40 region. The 2011 edition praises our "‘outstanding’ niche property expertise", saying that "Philip Horn is ‘one of the best conveyancing lawyers in the UK’". Previous editions have recognised our "smart, experienced, responsive and commercial" service (2010 edition), and highlighted our key strengths: "We also recommend Philip Horn at plainlaw Solicitors, which provides ‘rapid responses’ and great value for money" (2008 edition).

We are also very pleased to be highly rated again by the Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession in its 2011 edition, with Philip Horn ranked as a leading individual: "Philip Horn of plainlaw llp continues to impress with his broad practice and clear, straightforward advice." Previous editions have recognised that "this firm's relatively small size is seen as a distinct advantage by clients, who enjoy the level of care they receive. Everyone's their number one client! Philip Horn is described as ‘immensely experienced and pragmatic’. He is celebrated by his clients for ‘simply telling it like it is’" (2009 edition).

We regularly undertake substantial deals on behalf of developers, landlords and tenants - both individuals and companies. You can read more about recent deals and who we act for by visiting our news and deals section.
