Practice history

Tanner & Taylor was established in 1958 when Walford Taylor joined Peter Tanner in a single office in Aldershot, Hampshire. In the sixties the practice expanded into Farnborough and Fleet followed a few years later by the opening of its first Surrey office in Farnham.

The firm continued to grow during the seventies and eighties and established itself as one of the most well known firms in the Hampshire Surrey border region.

More recently in 2002 Bernard Crick joined Tanner & Taylor as a partner in the Criminal Defence department from another Hampshire firm bringing with him a team of criminal solicitors and paralegals.

In 2004 Tanner & Taylor underwent significant further expansion in quick succession. The firm merged with the Farnham based niche company/commercial practice The Rivers Partnership in October of that year. Then a month later Tanner & Taylor acquired the general practice of Bordon firm, Metcalfe & Co.

As from 1 September 2007 Tanner & Taylor LLP have become a Limited Liability Partnership and is regulated by the Solicitors Regulated Authority for England and Wales.

Tanner & Taylor recently merged with Sunningdale firm Margo Watson and Co.

The firm currently has offices in Farnborough in Hampshire, Farnham in Surrey and Sunningdale in Berkshire.
