Our people

Anthony Harris

I was born in Barton on Sea, grew up in this area and have spent nearly all of my working life in New Milton. My first degree was in biochemistry, and later I retrained to qualify as a solicitor.

I started my legal career doing residential conveyancing, wills and probate, and some years later took on litigation and family work. My current case load mainly comprises commercial and property development work, business dealings and wills, with a modest amount of litigation.

I have sat on the main committee of the Hampshire Incorporated Law Society since 1993 and was President of HILS in 2002. I am currently the Chair of Education and Training for that Society.

I have great pride in my team, all of whom will be pleased to assist you in dealing with your legal requirements.
