Howes Percival

A leading commercial law firm whose clients range from individuals and families to global businesses and government departments.
We have offices in Cambridge, Leicester, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Norwich although our clients are drawn from across the world. This is because we believe that the most important thing is not where we are but where our clients need us. That is why we have invested heavily in technology such as high-quality video conferencing facilities to ensure that the most important office is our sixth office – the one that is wherever you need us to be.
Our lawyers are recruited from a variety of backgrounds. Many trained with us, others have come to us from prestigious international and city firms and some have a proven background in industry. This means that our clients are served by an excellent mix of high-quality lawyers with a wide-range of experience and all of whom share a desire to do their best for each client.
We pride ourselves on the professional approach we take in everything we do, delivering excellence as standard. As a result, we have achieved nationally and internationally recognised accreditation awards including Investors in People, Lexcel Practice Management and ISO 9001:2008. Achieving these accreditations reflects our focus on quality and our commitment to providing excellent service.
Our vision is simple - to deliver Excellence as Standard

Standard terms and conditions are one of those things, much like regular dentist check-ups or funeral plans, we all know we need but we’d rather not think about them on a daily basis.
