About Us

Your Friendly Law Firm based in Scarborough with clients across the breadth of England and Wales.

Our History

Our firm is the result of a merger in 2017 between two local law firms - Longstaff & Midgley established in 1982, and Jepson & Co which was established in 1999.

Although the basis of the merger was due to the sad passing of our friend Joe Longstaff, the merging of the firms has meant a successful progression of Joe's legacy, and with Hayley and Beth as successors the firm is going from strength to strength.

We welcome clients old and new to our offices in Wykeham, Scarborough.

How We Can Help You.

We can help you by providing a comprehensive range of legal services, and pride ourselves on being quick, efficient, friendly and approachable.

We understand you may be contacting us because of something upsetting, but don't worry, we will do our utmost to help you resolve your issues in a cost-effective and speedy manner.

We are also quick to point out that we are the exact opposite of your typical 'stuffy' and old-fashioned Yorkshire law firm. All of our team are 'super-approachable', and we all speak plain-English.

We Can Visit You, if You Prefer.

We can visit your home if that makes you feel more comfortable. Over the years we have done many home visits (and also care home and hospital visits), and understand for some of our clients it is far more convenient.

However if you do visit our offices you will find they are in very private surroundings. So private in fact no one would even see you walking into our offices, because we are not located in the middle of town. Plus, we have plenty of free accessible parking too, which takes away lot of hassle for most people.

Get in Touch

We go out of our way to make people comfortable and we look forward to working with you too.
