Everys has been providing high quality legal advice to businesses across the region and indeed nationally for many years. Offering a full range of legal services delivered professionally yet personally, we place great value in the ongoing relationships we have with our clients. We always provide a welcoming and helpful service, with clear communication at the heart of everything we do.
We believe in developing and maintaining strong links with the communities in which we work and live and are strong supporters of a wide range of sporting and charitable organisations across Devon and Somerset.
We also believe in supporting and developing our staff and there is a strong collegiate atmosphere with clear career progression.
Corporate and commercial work is a significant and evolving practice at Everys. Over recent years, Everys have made a number of key strategic appointments at partner level. In view of this, we act for a number of businesses, farmers, landowners and private clients who all require company and commercial assistance. In addition, we receive a number of referrals from accountants, agents and other referrers due to the strong relationships we have with other local businesses and the local community.
By having strategic offices in a number of different cities and towns across Somerset and Devon we are able to attract a wide variety of company and commercial work from a number of sources.

The firm has been rapidly expanding in recent years, with a merger in 2022, our new Tiverton office opening in January 2024, and several new partner promotions and key lateral hires.
