Why the Kent business community is so vital to law firm

In 2018, Leverets’ founders Rupert Butler and Stephanie Davies set out to usher in a new era of legal service by building a combined barrister-solicitor practice. The goal was to deliver a streamlined, cost-effective and highly personal client experience, free from the fragmentation of the traditional model. And that’s exactly what they feel they’ve achieved.

Building on experience in litigation and transactional matters, dispute resolution and mediation, Leverets was centred around four fields of law: commercial and company litigation, personal and corporate insolvency, civil fraud and public inquiries.

For decades, London was seen as the top location for lawyers seeking a successful career. So why did Leverets choose the Garden of England, and why is the Kent business community so vital to them?

Though Leverets was already established in Sevenoaks, the remote working revolution brought about by Covid19 proved that solicitors and barristers can work anywhere, and London need no longer be the centre for quality legal services.

A talented workforce of legal professionals seeking a better work-life balance, lower operating costs and excellent connectivity to both London and Europe all made Kent a great place to build a law firm.

Fast-forward to 2024, and Leverets has carved a reputation for being able to handle anything from high value work on behalf of large international enterprises, to advising SME business leaders on a wide range of matters.

Leverets is passionate about supporting the Kent business community, saying: “We’re here for the people and the businesses that make Kent the great place that it is.” www.leveretsgroup.co.uk
