Representing the People of Hull for more than 40 years
Welcome To Andrew Kingston & Co. Solicitors
Andrew Kingston & Co. was formed in September 2004.
Andrew Kingston-Splatt LLB, the Principal of Andrew Kingston & Co. Solicitors, has practiced as a Solicitor in Hull since December 1978. For the majority of that time, he has specialised particularly in Civil and Commercial Litigation, and Debt Recovery work. Andrew Kingston & Co. therefore has a wealth of experience in dealing with such cases, and is able to use that experience for the benefit of its clients, to achieve the best possible results on their behalf.
Building upon its established reputation for dispute resolution, Andrew Kingston & Co. also undertakes employment work. In particular, we frequently provide advice to employees in relation to Settlement Agreements offered by their employers, and our services to employers include drafting Contracts of Employment and associated policies and procedures. We also on occasion undertake claims brought before Employment Tribunals, in appropriate circumstances.
The firm also undertakes Residential Conveyancing, the preparation of Wills, and work relating to Probate and the Administration of Estates, and the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Our offices are at Ground Floor, Lowgate House, Lowgate, Hull, HU1 1EL. Please note that this is our only address and we have no connection with any other firm operating under a similar name, in Hull or elsewhere.

Client care and complaints handling
We would hope that our clients will not have reason to complain, but If you are not happy about any aspect of the service you have received or about our charges, then you should inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your file to discuss your concerns. If you wish to make a formal complaint, please write to Mr A Kingston by e-mail to akingston@andrewkingston.co.uk or by post to our offices. Our Complaints Procedure can be seen here. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
If you are not happy with our final written response to your complaint, you are entitled to refer the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, whose website is at www.legalombudsman.org.uk. They will look at your complaint independently. Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. The Legal Ombudsman can be contacted at PO Box 6806, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WV1 9WJ, or call 0300 555 0333 (weekdays 9.00am to 5.00pm), or email enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk. You will normally have to do so within 6 months of receiving our final response, and in any event:-
- No more than six years from the date of the act/omission about which you have complained; or, if later
- No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty, taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability or other characteristic.
