About us

We are a full service law firm offering support to businesses and individuals based on the following principles.

Respect

We respect our clients and colleagues and build long lasting relationships with trust, courtesy and dignity

If you are a new client to the firm your first meeting with us is always free. We believe people shouldn’t be put off seeking help for fear of being charged just to be told they don’t have a case.

Openness

By encouraging our clients to speak freely helps create an environment in which all input is valued and everyone can make a worthwhile contribution

We use plain English and don’t hide behind complex ‘legalese’

We share knowledge and expertise. We publish blogs, articles and news on the subjects that matter to our clients free of charge – take a look here

Teamwork

We build relationships through cooperation and communication and put our clients at the heart of everything we do

Innovation

Simply, we choose to do new things to create value for our clients without being constrained by what has been done in the past or what others are doing today

Our offices

We have offices in Eastbourne and Hastings allowing us to assist individuals and businesses with their legal needs all across East Sussex.

Our history

Stephen Rimmer LLP was founded in 1981 by Stephen Rimmer. We have enjoyed steady growth since then and now have over one hundred Solicitors and staff. A lot of the expansion has come from personal recommendation from our clients and business colleagues.

Free initial meeting

A free initial chat with one of our experts will last around 30 minutes, this can be over the telephone, by video link or at our offices by appointment. If needed, we may be able to come to your home.

Insurance

The Solicitors Regulation Authority specifies the minimum level of cover as £3 million for any one claim, in order to better our clients we have chosen to have cover in place of up to £15 million as well as comprehensive cyber security cover.

Accreditations

We have been granted many quality standard marks and are members of LawNet.

Thank you for giving such excellent service and for steering us through the legal situation with which we were confronted. Andrew Flagg was professional, yet approachable. Explained the intricacies of the law in clear terms and was endlessly patient with our questions. Thank you Andrew, you have been brilliant!
I would recommend Stephen Rimmer to anyone who required solicitor help. Jack Prosser was such a great help to us as we tried to buy a property. Jack always gave great detail which we could understand and was very quick at replying to any queries we had. In the future, I will certainly be using Stephen Rimmer/Jack Prosser again.
We have just completed on our house sale and purchase with Jack, he has been totally amazing and gone over and above to get our house sale through. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him for future conveyancing needs. Thank you so much.
Jack has been invaluable in making sure our sale/purchase went through, demonstrating endless patience and professionalism. We wouldn’t use anyone else in the future!

Jay is a fantastic Lawyer, he definitely loves what he does and he’s very skilful and awesome.
Thank you so much for saving my life! You treated this case like your baby right from the first day and you supported me all through the way. Those memories of the 2 weeks of trial would stay with me till I die, I kept wondering what would happen to my children if I lost this case, but you kept me strong with your words and your dedication to your job is outstanding. I am forever indebted to you Jay, I owe you so much!
Jay was exceptional throughout. In the most difficult circumstances, I could not have asked for a more experienced, competent or reassuring team on my side.
