Martin Cray & Co is a Brighton based firm of solicitors

Martin Cray and Co is a firm of solicitors based in Brighton covering the whole of the South East of the United Kingdom including London. The firm specialises in divorce, crime, conveyancing, personal injury and employment. We have solicitors dealing with probate, the drafting of Wills and litigation involving European companies particularly Spain, France and Germany.

The firm's specialist expertise stems from the two partners namely Martin Cray who deals with litigation, particularly crime and divorce and Martin Mitten who deals with conveyancing and probate.

Martin Cray is a Higher Courts Advocate with extended rights of audience in all civil and criminal Courts.

Martin Mitten is a solicitor of the Supreme Court with more than 20 years experience in conveyancing at all levels, from the largest commercial transaction to domestic sales and purchase.

The firm acts in employment law covering all levels of advice and representation at the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

Martin Cray has particular expertise and experience in cases involving professional negligence including doctor's cases before the General Medical Council, up to the Privy Council, also disciplinary matters involving not only doctors but also veterinary surgeons, pharmacists and solicitors.

The firm has significant expertise concerning criminal cases before the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court, always privately funded, especially for businesses. The firm's experience in criminal law is vast.

The firm's emphasis in dealing with cases is firstly to clearly understand the problem, attempt to reach an amicable resolution but then to commit to litigation with the sincere hope that during the course of the litigation the opponent will be convinced that an amicable compromise is best, and, as a result, to conclude the case. The cost of litigation is so great that every effort needs to be made to reach a compromise but if the opponent is simply not willing to be reasonable then a total commitment to litigation is the only course.
