Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence | Hegarty Marks a Decade in Oakham

On 1st May 2025, we are proudly celebrating the 10th anniversary of our Oakham office, marking a decade of dedicated legal service to the Rutland and Leicestershire communities.

This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive legal support and fostering strong local relationships.​

The Oakham office originated from the merger with Paul Browne Solicitors on May 1, 2015. This strategic union enhanced Hegarty's presence in the region and broadened the spectrum of legal services available to clients, extending the service offering in Oakham to include property, family, wills, trusts and probate, as well as commercial and litigious work. This made Hegarty the only law firm at the time in the Oakham area offering specialised commercial services.

Reflecting on the past decade, Sarah Bent, Partner and Head of our Oakham office, remarked, "​Celebrating 10 years in Oakham is a testament to the trust and support we've received from the local community. Our journey has been one of growth and collaboration, and we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional legal services tailored to our clients' needs."​

Throughout these ten years, the Oakham team has been instrumental in various community initiatives, underscoring our ethos of giving back. Notably, in 2024, as part of the firm's 50th-anniversary celebrations, the Oakham office participated in 50 acts of kindness, contributing to raising £16,000 for local charities, including Pepper’s A Safe Place in Oakham.

As we celebrate this significant milestone, we want to extend our gratitude to our clients, staff, and the Oakham community for their support. Looking ahead, we remain committed to upholding our tradition of excellence and community engagement in Oakham and beyond.
