HOME > ABOUT US
We're Tozers. Thoughtful legal partners for a changing world.
We go out of our way to understand what really matters to you – working together to find the right answers to your legal questions.
"What Tozers do really well is understand our world and how we go about our day-to-day business, and support that."
Working with you
Many things have changed since Tozers was founded in 1785. As the world we operate in has shifted, we’ve adapted and grown – but our commitment to delivering an exceptional service for our clients has remained the same.
We’re still here to help. Whether you’re dealing with an unexpected challenge or pursuing an opportunity, we provide thoughtful legal advice on the issues affecting you and your business.
We now have over 200 colleagues across our offices in Exeter, Newton Abbot and Teignmouth, serving clients in Devon, the South West and throughout the UK.
Strong client relationships are in our DNA
Forging effective partnerships has played a crucial role in our success. Collaboration has enabled us to grow organically alongside our clients and continues to be an incredibly important part of who we are today.
Our clients know we truly care about delivering the best outcomes, working tirelessly to keep things moving forward. With many staying with us long-term, we’re obviously getting this right – we’re proud to be one of the top-rated law firms in the UK.
“We have used Tozers’ services over more than four decades, which I think says it all.”
Your trusted legal experts
Our team of talented professionals ranges from sector-leading advisers to trusted legal experts with local networks. We have lawyers who conduct advocacy on behalf of individual clients through to those representing an entire industry at judicial review.
All are passionate about what they do. They are adept at listening, finding fresh perspectives and applying their expertise with less legal jargon, more straightforward solutions to keep you one step ahead.

Our vision and values
Our vision is to be the first choice law firm for people and business in the South West, and in our specialist sectors.
Supporting this is a clear set of values. These are hugely important to us – they guide our actions, form the foundation of our culture and help us grow together for the benefit of our colleagues, our clients and our communities.
Our values cover three key areas:
1. High Quality Work
Raising the quality of the work and the experience our clients have with us.
2. Healthy Growth
Building relationships, looking for opportunities to work with other teams, pushing into new areas and stretching ourselves and each other.
3. Happy Teams
Rewarding and celebrating success, coming together as a firm, working in new and flexible ways, and making sure everyone feels valued.
Growing a responsible business, together
We believe the way we operate as a firm should reflect our changing world and the needs of our people, our communities and our environment.
Being a responsible business is essential for both our colleagues, who want to be proud of where they work, and our clients, who expect the highest standards from us.
We’re committed to:
• creating an inclusive workplace so we can achieve our full potential as individuals and an organisation
• collaborating for good in our communities
• setting a path to a more sustainable future
Transparent pricing
Providing the best service to our clients includes being clear on our pricing. We always aim to provide a total cost or an average range of costs for your legal matter at the outset and include an explanation of our charges. In addition, some of our services include a fixed price option.
Working at Tozers
Exceptional legal service doesn't just happen on its own. We know our people are our most important asset. They make sure that every one of our clients receive a top-rated legal service, every time.
We create an inclusive and flexible working environment, where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential while being themselves at work. We value curiosity and invite challenge, empower responsibility and encourage fresh ideas. Above all, we have a 'can do' attitude and we care.
If you’re a talented legal or business support professional interested in taking the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you.
