About Rex Cowell Solicitors
We get to the heart of your property disputes to unlock practical commercial solutions.

We are a firm of experienced specialist property litigation solicitors. This means that all our resources and expertise are dedicated to the issues arising from holding property as an investment or from occupying it as a commercial tenant.
Clients tell us what sets us apart from other legal advisers is the reassurance that comes from our straight talking personal service and superior tactical ability.
They value the fact we tell them if a case isn’t worth running.
And that if it is, we thoroughly plan, communicate and deliver the results they need.
We act as true business partners to our clients and have developed a reputation for ‘never giving up’ when it comes to getting results.
We provide consistently high quality, commercially relevant property litigation advice for our clients across the UK.
