Solicitors in Worthing
Worthing in West Sussex is famous for being one of the UK’s largest seaside towns. Modern Worthing has a large service industry, particularly in financial services. The town is also home to several major employers including GlaxoSmithKline, HM Revenue & Customs, MGM Advantage, Southern Water and Norwich Union. As a result there are many in-house solicitors in the town; however there are also plenty of high-street solicitors providing services to the public alongside the local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). Be aware though, that the CAB only gives out general advice, and will not go into case-specific details.
Solicitors in Worthing can advise on a wide range of laws, including;
- family law
- corporate and commercial
- conveyancing
- personal injury
West Sussex and Worthing solicitors have been involved in important developments in the law and a recent case shows this. A West Sussex schoolgirl lost her legal action in the High Court for damages resulting from her local education authority's failure to protect her from bullying whilst she was a pupil at a local school between 1990 and 1993. Despite her strong evidence being substantially accepted by the judge, the LEA successfully argued that the bullying which took place on the way to and from school was not their responsibility.
Cases like the one above are important to the development of English law and while this case was heard in the High Court most cases worked on by Worthing solicitors begin in the local civil and criminal courts. Worthing County Court can be found at The Law Courts, Christchurch Road, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 1JD and the criminal/magistrates’ court can be found at The Law Courts, Christchurch Road, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 1JE.
