Edward Connor Solicitors uniquely combines the specialism of a high-quality law firm with the gospel aims of a Christian charity.
We offer Christ-centred legal expertise, designed to help your ministry flourish.
Please note that Edward Connor Solicitors can only act for Christian churches and organisations, and cannot act for individuals.
Christ-centred
Our aim is to advance the gospel by enabling you to be confident in your legal responsibilities – including being properly established, effective in your goals and good stewards of your resources.
When it comes to legal responsibilities, we know your first priority is to honour Jesus.
We will help you to be faithful to Christ and his word by analysing legal obligations through a biblical lens. In everything from your governance structure to your data handling, from your employment contracts to your property transactions, we can help you strengthen your gospel witness and faithfully serve Jesus.
Legal Expertise
Not only do we understand you and your needs, but we also have the experience and highly specialist expertise necessary to help you navigate the legal landscape in which you operate.
We are a fully regulated law firm, and our team of high-calibre lawyers and consultants have had successful careers in a variety of law firms and in-house legal teams before choosing to serve Christian organisations and churches at Edward Connor Solicitors.
You will have the benefit of experts in niche areas of law who are committed to serving Jesus, through providing the specialist, robust advice you need to enable your ministry to flourish.
Designed to help your ministry flourish
We understand your priorities and challenges because working with Christian organisations and churches is all we do.
This means we have a wealth of experience in precisely the kind of issues you’re likely to face. Many of our team also have first-hand experience in leadership roles within churches and Christian charities. We know that how you operate is an important factor of gospel witness and a means of showing Christ’s love to your community.
Our Core Values
We are centred around Jesus Christ in who we are and all that we do – hence our motto of ‘Christ-centred legal expertise’. Around this centring on Christ we have 6 core values that define our purpose and mission. These values are key for reminding us and our clients of what we stand for…
Highest quality, best value service
High quality often means high prices, while economy often means sacrificing quality. Not with us – we seek to offer the highest quality legal advice and service that are specialist, tailored to our clients, and yet still cost-effective. What value is service that is out of reach?
Dedicated to the local church
Recognising the central place the local church has in God’s plan, our dedication to serving the local church is at the forefront of what we do. Our objective to further the ministry of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) plays an integral part of this commitment.
Christlike care of people
We endeavour to love people the way Jesus loves, bringing glory to him by the way we put our clients’ needs ahead of our own, and by our commitment to properly care for our staff.
Spirit-led decision making
We want always to lean on God’s strength and seek his wisdom, not rely on our own. We want our decisions to be prayerful and in line with God’s will. We won’t just ‘play it safe’ – we’re prepared to take risks as we walk by faith and not simply by sight.
Gospel-driven ambition
We are driven by a desire to see the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, not by profits. This means we seek the growth of God’s Kingdom, not ours, and consider ourselves as gospel partners rather than rivals to those working towards the same purposes.
Biblically-shaped
God’s Word is in our DNA, shaping everything we do as a Christian law firm. From the very content of our work to the way we deliver our service, God’s Word is the basis from which everything we do takes its shape.
