We are pleased to announce our transition to a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), marking a major milestone in our 50-year history. This move reflects our growth, ambition, and long-term commitment to providing high-quality legal services to our clients.
“This is an exciting time for Cartridges Law. Our new LLP structure reflects the energy within the firm and our desire to continue growing while staying true to our roots. After managing the firm for several years, I am delighted to focus on developing our family law service, which I have personally missed.”

A New Leadership Team
With the transition to LLP status, we are also announcing a new leadership structure. Nicky Mein, who has been the firm’s Managing Partner for several years, is passing the reins to Victoria Matthews, an experienced litigator who has taken on increasing management responsibilities over the past year. Nicky will now focus on expanding the our highly regarded family law practice.
Alongside Victoria and Nick are partners Julie Farmer and Faye Newbery. Julie, who has been with Cartridges Law since 2001, will continue to lead on finances, assuming the role of Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration. Faye, who comes from a not-for-profit management background and joined the firm in 2017, leads the housing and litigation teams. Her role includes managing the South West’s only housing legal aid contract, a vital service.
Committed to Our Community and Clients
Founded over five decades ago in St Thomas, Exeter, Cartridges Law has become known for our dedication to access to justice and our role in the local community. We remain the only housing legal aid provider in the South West, advocating for those who might otherwise struggle to access legal support. Alongside our legal aid work, we offer a broad range of legal services, including family law, private client, property and civil litigation.
Beyond our legal work, Cartridges Law has always been a proud and active member of our local community, supporting many local organisations and community initiatives. We are also recognised for our innovative and inclusive approach to employment, including our commitment to flexible working, inclusive recruitment practices, and supporting career development through apprenticeships and non-traditional paths into law.
As Cartridges Law steps into this new era, the firm remains committed to offering our clients the same high level of service, with a renewed focus on growth and innovation.
