Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors is a leading Sussex law firm with offices in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Bexhill and Hastings. We provide a wide range of legal services for businesses and individuals. Dr Frederick Goodwin founded the firm in Hastings in 1889 and was joined in practice by Ralph Gaby three years later.

We pursue excellence. We're committed to your professional training and development and will offer you the opportunity to excel. The more you put in, the more you get out. Many staff have benefited from our in-house training programmes and gained formal, recognised qualifications.

With five offices across four major East Sussex towns and a wide range of legal sectors, Gaby Hardwicke offers excellent potential for growth and progression throughout your career.Since 2000 we've trained more than 30 solicitors; 25 stayed with us after qualifying, and seven of our partners trained with the firm.

Each year the firm supports a nominated charity or local cause and encourages partners and staff to take part in fundraising activities. For 2021 our chosen Charities of the Year are St Michael's Hospice and St Wilfrid's Hospice. St Michael's Hospice provides high quality, responsive palliative care and bereavement support across Hastings and Rother, and work collaboratively with others to improve end of life care for all.

Most law firms base their charges on the time they spend dealing with your case or transaction. Often this will mean that you pay an hourly rate, or where you are offered a fixed price for a piece of work it will be because the type of work is relatively straightforward or it's possible to estimate how much time your matter will take, often because there is no other party involved.

We understand that family and personal legal issues can be stressful and at times awkward and upsetting. Our lawyers are experts in their fields and will give you friendly, straightforward, step-by-step advice whatever your circumstances or requirements. Thanks to the depth of our expertise and the breadth of the services we offer, we're able to support our clients through every stage of their lives.
