Earlier names
These figures include judgments naming firms that have since merged into, or been renamed as, Nelsons: Tollers, Moody and Woolley.
Based on judgments published by The National Archives (Find Case Law) in which Nelsons is named as solicitors, counted under the firm's current name. The figures are minimums: not every judgment names the solicitors, and a judgment is counted only when we are confident who acted. The selection of cases listed here is limited, and does not include family, criminal or anonymised cases. Firm details include data from the Solicitors Regulation Authority. zoomLaw is independent and not connected with Nelsons. Something wrong or missing? Tell us. All law firms.
