Surrey firm Hart Brown is celebrating its 100th anniversary, after founder Cecil Hart opened its first office in Godalming in 1919.
In 1958, the firm welcomed the arrival of Kenneth Brown, and became known as Hart Son and Brown; it moved to its current headquarters in Guildford in 2000. Today, the firm employs more than 100 staff members, including 15 partners, across five offices.
As part of its centenary celebrations, Hart Brown is sponsoring the Start-Up of The Year category in this year’s Surrey Business Awards in November. It also recently sponsored four performances by the Guildford Shakespeare Company, and organised a 100-mile charity cycle ride to raise money for the Woking and Sam Beare Hospice.
Partner Roderick Campbell commented: ‘We keep the founder’s ethos alive of top quality service with a personal touch. The firm has obtained an average 97% customer satisfaction rating over the past year. Many of our clients have been with us for generations and we are very proud of that. What was a sole practice a hundred years ago has grown to be one of the leading law firms in Surrey.’
