Our History.
2020
Founded by Paul Britton, Britton and Time Solicitors completed its official rebranding, evolving from its origins as Martin Ross and Co, which he acquired in 2017. The firm quickly made its mark in the legal community, securing ‘Best New Law Firm’ at the Legal Awards.
Driven by a commitment to equality in legal services, Paul launched LGBT Lawyers, creating a dedicated platform offering bespoke, bias-free legal support for the LGBTQ+ community.
2021
Our expertise caught the attention of national media, with our legal team becoming regular contributors on prominent platforms including Good Morning Britain, TalkTV, Times Radio, and GB News.
We launched The Barrow Club, a networking event for professionals based on a unique rotating seating plan to help maximise discussions and connections.
As our reputation grew, so did our team, with significant expansion across both legal and administrative departments, with the team expanding from 3 people to 12.
2022
With increased demand due to our success in Sussex, we opened a new office location in London’s Mayfair, accompanied by the recruitment of an accomplished team of solicitors and introduction of new legal areas.
Following our success in Sussex, we established a presence in London’s Mayfair, broadening our service areas and welcoming an accomplished team of solicitors to a new office. This period of expansion was complemented by internal advancement, with Elisabeth and Sophie ascending to director positions.

The launch of Community Wills Sussex marked a significant milestone in our commitment to social responsibility, offering free will-writing services while supporting five local Sussex charities through legacy giving.

Sophie took the helm of the Property Professionals Lunch, a quarterly networking and knowledge sharing event hosting up to 100 guests.
